Solution 1:

You have to modify AndroidManifest.xml to grant permission of "android.permission.INTERNET"

Solution 2:

This looks a network issue. Use the code given here to access a website using java network api http://www.coderanch.com/t/440335/sockets/java/Access-website-Java-Code This will allow you to track the actual error and once that is fixed you can use any JSON lib to parse the response from server.

Solution 3:

Ah, if you're getting UnknownHostException that means your DNS server is not successfully resolving www.googleapis.com. I'd check to make sure that you actually have a working network connection.
