I'm making use of Foursquare's API to list all the categories with the following code 

         HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(FOURSQUARE_CAT);
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response;
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
        JSONArray jsonArray = null;
        try {

            response = client.execute(httpGet);

            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

            InputStream stream = entity.getContent();

            BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            String line;
            while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
                stringBuilder.append(line);
            }

            jsonObject = new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
            String str = "";
            if(jsonObject !=null){
                Log.d("cat0", stringBuilder.toString());
                jsonObject = jsonObject.getJSONObject("response");
                jsonArray = ((JSONArray)jsonObject.get("categories"));//.getJSONObject(0).getString("formatted_address");
                Log.d("cat1", jsonArray.toString());
                Log.d("cat2length", jsonArray.length() + "");
                for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
                    if(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).get("name").toString().equalsIgnoreCase("food")){
                        str = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).get("id").toString();
                        Log.d("cat loop ", i + " out of " + jsonArray.length());
                        break;
                    }
                }
                    Message.obtain(mHandler, UPDATE_ADDRESS, str).sendToTarget();
            }

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.d("cpe", e.toString());
        }
          catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();//  Log.d("ioe", "");
             Log.d("ioe", e.toString());
          } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
              e.printStackTrace();
             Log.d("jsone", e.toString());
            }

i put in those log commands to see my inputs and outputs are as expected and for some reason, the whole try catch block keeps looping. i tried taking out the for loop but has confirmed that is not the cause

the stack trace that i have with the updated code is as below, note that it does not return a complete JSON data and i verified this by comparing what I get from the code and from the browser:

    The last part of your question is totally unclear. Include in your code snippet, the end of the try block and its catch block(s) as well. Also include any stack trace you may be getting. – Perception Feb 28 '13 at 17:35

I manage to find out that i should just use the following code

urlCat = new URL(FOURSQUARE_CAT);
            Log.d("url", FOURSQUARE_CAT);
             URLConnection httpGet = urlCat.openConnection();
             httpGet.setConnectTimeout(1000);
             httpGet.setDoInput(true);
             httpGet.setDoOutput(true);
             httpGet.connect();

but i have a different problem asked in a different question
