java.net.SocketException Permission denied

Question

Hi everyone I am trying to read the content of a website with the following code

public class Add extends MenuActivity {

    Button submit;
    EditText editText;
    private WebView webView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_add);

        String contents = urlToString("http://www.vogella.com");

        submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
//        String addUrl = editText.getText().toString();
        submit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
        {
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                Log.d("Submit"," Pressed");
                Log.d("EditText",editText.getText().toString());
            }

        });

    }


    private String urlToString(String address) {
        HttpURLConnection con = null;
        URL url;
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
            url = new URL(address);
            con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            con.setReadTimeout(10000);
            con.setConnectTimeout(15000);
            con.setRequestMethod("GET");
            con.connect();
            is = con.getInputStream();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        BufferedReader reader = null;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        try {
            reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
            String line = "";
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line);
                Log.d("HTTP", line);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (reader != null) {
                try {
                    reader.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            if (is != null) {
                try {
                    is.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }


}

But I get the following error and I don't know how to solve it.

If you have any ideas don't be shy.

I think you must use

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

In case anyone still having this problem even after adding this permission on the android manifest file. Then probably you should clean and rebuild the project.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

I also have this line in the AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
