Static Map image not displaying

Question

I am trying to display a location point in map using static map API. This above link contains the image and I am trying to show this image in an ImageView. It throws NetworkOnMainThreadException. So I added these two lines

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

and now it works fine. But I want to know why NetworkOnMainThreadException.

Is there any other way to do this?

if you remove those lines you get NetworkOnMainThread Exception. If you try to google for this exception you will get tons of links explaining "why" and how to fix it — Blackbelt, Dec 30 '13 at 13:02

You must use thread or asynctask if you will do network related operations. Check the most voted question about NetworkOnMainThreadException from this link
