NetworkOnMainThreadException in AsyncTask doInBackground

Question

I'm trying to parse data from an XML page via a URL. However, I still keep getting a "NetworkOnMainThreadException" despite having all my network connectivity code in AsyncTask doInBackground. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Class extending AsyncTask

public class ParseRouteXML extends AsyncTask<String, URL, Route> {


@Override
protected Route doInBackground(String... urlString) {
    //Tags to look for
    InputStream stream = null;
    final String STOP = "stop";
    Route route = null;
    try {
        Log.i("Parser", "Creating factory");
        XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        XmlPullParser parser = factory.newPullParser();

        //Establish connection
        Log.i("Parser", "Creating URL");
        URL url = new URL(urlString[0]);
        Log.i("Parser", "Creating connection");
        URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
        Log.i("Parser", "Creating stream");
        stream = connection.getInputStream();

        Log.i("Parser", "Stream = " + stream.toString());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return route;
}
}

Method calling the class

public void savedStopStopsClick(View v) {
    Log.i("Parser", "Running testMethod()");
    String routeUrl = "http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicXMLFeed?command=routeList&a=portland-sc";
    Route route = new ParseRouteXML().doInBackground(routeUrl);
}

Error log

Because doInBackground(routeUrl) will be executed in the same thread. You need to do it like this:

new ParseRouteXML().execute(routeUrl);

And async task will do all the job in the background thread.
