          ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy); 
        URL url = new URL("http://pnrbuddy.com/api/check_pnr/pnr/2156641988/format/json/pbapikey/6b17f33e25e2d8197462d1c6bcb0b130/pbapisign/bd0aea241e88c8a22692eba02887ad97a220f827");

You need to parse the result so you can access it's properties. Use [JSONObject](https://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html). — Gerstmann, May 02 '14 at 07:09

                    JSONObject j = new JSONObject("response form server");
                    textView.setText(j.getString("pnr")+"\n"+
                            j.getString("train_num")+"\n"+
                            j.getString("train_name"));
                }

  "train_name": "PADMAVAT          EXPRES",
  "doj": "2014-05-17",
  "from_station": {
    "code": "DLI ",
    "name": "Delhi"
  },
  "to_station": {
    "code": "PBH ",
    "name": "Partapgarh Junction"
  },
  "reservation_upto": {
    "code": "PBH ",
    "name": "Partapgarh Junction"
  },
  "boarding_point": {
    "code": "DLI ",
    "name": "Delhi"
  },
  "class": " SL",
  "no_of_passengers": 2,
  "chart_prepared": "N",
  "passengers": [
    {

      "booking_status": "S4,40,GN",
      "current_status": "CNF"
    }
  ],

}

please have following code for the parsing

String jsondata = "YOURS DATA FROM SERVER IN JSON FORMAT";
        JSONObject primaryObject = new JSONObject(jsondata);

        String responseCode = primaryObject.getString("response_code");
        String pnr = primaryObject.getString("pnr");
        String trainNum = primaryObject.getString("train_num");
        String date = primaryObject.getString("doj");
        String trainName = primaryObject.getString("train_name");

        JSONObject from_station = primaryObject.getJSONObject("from_station");
        String fromcode = from_station.getString("code");
        String fromname = from_station.getString("name");

        JSONObject to_station = primaryObject.getJSONObject("to_station");
        String tocode = to_station.getString("code");
        String toname = to_station.getString("name");

        JSONObject reservation_upto = primaryObject
                .getJSONObject("reservation_upto");
        String uptocode = reservation_upto.getString("code");
        String uptoname = reservation_upto.getString("name");

        JSONObject boarding_point = primaryObject
                .getJSONObject("boarding_point");
        String boardtocode = boarding_point.getString("code");
        String boardtoname = boarding_point.getString("name");

        String classvalue = primaryObject.getString("class");

        String noofpass = primaryObject.getString("no_of_passengers");

        String chartstatus = primaryObject.getString("chart_prepared");

        String error = primaryObject.getString("error");

        JSONArray passengers = primaryObject.getJSONArray("passengers");

        for (int i = 0; i < passengers.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject firstObj = passengers.getJSONObject(i);

            String sr = firstObj.getString("sr");

            String booking_status = firstObj.getString("booking_status");

            String current_status = firstObj.getString("current_status");
        }
