I want to parse a website to obtain news information. It works well on previous version of Android but it doesn't work on ICS. Here's the piece of code that worked before:

public NewsParsing(){

    try {
        url = new URL("http://www.curtin.edu.my/campusnews/index.htm");
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        doc = Jsoup.parse(url, 3000);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    if (doc != null)
    {
        newsArray = new ArrayList<NewsStructure>();
        Element latestNews = doc.select("div[id=post-]").first();

        Iterator<Element> newsTable = latestNews.select("div[id=post-6400]").iterator();

        while (newsTable.hasNext())
        {
            newsContent         = new NewsStructure();
            Element currIte     = newsTable.next();
            Element hElement    = currIte.getElementsByTag("h2").first();
            String newsTitle    = hElement.select("a").first().text().toString();
            String newsLink     = hElement.select("a").first().attr("href").toString();
            Element sElement    = currIte.getElementsByTag("div").first();
            String newsSnippet  = sElement.select("p").first().text().toString();
            Element dElement    = currIte.getElementsByTag("p").last();
            String newsDate     = dElement.text().toString();
            newsContent.setTitle(newsTitle);
            newsContent.setLink(newsLink);
            newsContent.setSnippet(newsSnippet);
            newsContent.setDate(newsDate);
            newsArray.add(newsContent);
        }

    }
}

The logcat:

Please advice. I'm using Jsoup 1.6.3.

You need to perform network connections on a separate thread, or else a NetworkOnMainThreadException will be thrown. You can offload the work to a separate thread using an AsyncTask. Read my blog post on the subject here:
