Unable to start activity ComponentInfo

Question

I'm trying to make that my main activity to open another activity (ListAtivity). However, when I click on the button app crashes and following exception appears:

Solution

Caused by: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

You cannot perform network operations on the main Thread in the recent APIs (see NetworkOnMainThreadException). You need to move the code that fetches your JSON objects to another Thread, perhaps using an AsyncTask.
