thread exceptions - Android : Caused by: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

String response = getResultForRequest(url);

Where 'url' is JSON formatted which return bunch of data using http GET method.

public static String getResultForRequest(String urlString)
        throws IOException {
    URL url = new URL(urlString);
    HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url
            .openConnection();
    urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");

    urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
    urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
    urlConnection.connect();

    InputStream is = urlConnection.getInputStream();
    if (is == null)
        return null;
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    String line = null;

    try {
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
            sb.append(line);
    } finally {
        br.close();
        is.close();
    }

    return sb.toString();
}

I can not fetch JSON formatted data from 'url' which i have passed in getResultForRequest(url) method.I got an error in urlConnection.connect();. Internet Permission is also given in AndroidManifest.xml file.

Here is my Log.
