Android facebook friend fetching showing NetworkOnMainThreadException in 4.0 or later android os versions

Question

I am trying to fetch facebook friends in my android app my code is working fine in lower android versions but it's showing NetworkOnMainThreadException in 4.0 and later versions.

Here is my code:

public static void getFaceBookFriendsIDs() {

        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    JSONObject result = new JSONObject(facebook.request("me/friends"));
                    JSONArray friendsArray = result.getJSONArray("data");
                    //friendsList = new ArrayList<String>();
                    for (int i = 0; i < friendsArray.length(); i++) {
                        //friendsList.add(friendsArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("id"));
                        String id=friendsArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("id");
                        String name=friendsArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
                        contactBean=new ContactBean();
                        contactBean.setFbId(id);
                        contactBean.setUserName(name);
                        com.interactiveapp.Constants.fbContactListArrayList.add(contactBean);
                    }
                } 
                catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                } 
                catch (JSONException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                } 
                catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }).start();

        /////////////HANDLE RESPONSE//////////
        Message m = new Message();
        m.obj="";
        m.arg1 =1 ;
        saveHandler.dispatchMessage(m);

    }

you have to add this lines in >= 4.0 Android os

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

or you can use: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16103640/1168654

is it right way to do this? because this may kill the OS service. – Ricky Khatri Apr 24 '13 at 11:04

you can use asynctask. -->http://stackoverflow.com/a/16103640/1168654 – Dhaval Parmar Apr 24 '13 at 11:11
Use an AsyncTask, or use version 3.0 of the Facebook SDK, and the Request class, which has an async method. – Ming Li Apr 24 '13 at 17:12
