Below is my onCreateMethod

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // here instantiate a java class for retrieving the https url result
    MyHttpClient client =  new MyHttpClient();

    // read the input stream
    TextView textView =  (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvResult);

    // setting the output to text view
    textView.setText(client.getWebsiteResult());
}

According to answer from here.

android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is a signature level permission. Your app will not be able to use it until and unless it has the same signature as the system.

Which is not something you can achieve unless you either are the creator or the system build, or collaborating with them such that they are willing to sign your apk with their certificate. In other words, this is off limits for most developers.

However, reading your loagcat and code.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.innovator.httpclientapp/com.example.innovator.httpclientapp.MainActivity}: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

Above error suggests that a network call cannot be made on main thread. So, make a new thread and start network call from that thread. It might solve your problem.

new Thread() {
  public void run() {
    // your network call
  }
}.start();

If you want to have callbacks and stuff you can use AsyncTask as well.

Also a suggestion, for making nice and quick network calls you can use volley. It is my personal favorite and very easy to use!

Its working after keeping in thread...Earlier its stopping at httpclient.execute(httpget); — JavaGeek, Apr 25 '15 at 16:17
