I am developing my first Android app and had built in mostly based on research. When I try to login my user I get the android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException error. I have read online that Async should be used to make sure that this error doesn't occur but I have no idea how to do that.

Below is all my code.

My User Login Form Activity:

    import java.util.HashMap;
    import org.json.JSONException;
    import org.json.JSONObject;

    public class UserLogin extends Activity {
    Button userlogin;
    Button back;
    Button login;
    EditText inputEmail;
    EditText inputPassword;
    TextView loginErrorMsg;

    // Importing all assets like buttons, text fields
    inputEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputemail);
    inputPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputpassword);
    login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
    //Button register = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register);
    back =(Button)findViewById(R.id.back);

    loginErrorMsg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.login_error);

    // Login button Click Event
    login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View view) {

This exception is thrown when application attempts to perform a networking operation in the main thread. Use below code in your onViewCreated to avoid this error else Call your networking operations (getting data from web server) request in thread or Asynch class.

public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    int SDK_INT = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if (SDK_INT > 8) 
    {
        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
                .permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
        //your codes here

    }
}
