Setting up HTTP connection and getting response in Android Emulator

I have an android application that parses the HTML content and displays the required tag. It is working fine for the hardcoded HTML code.

But when I set up a HTTP connection for a URL, then it is not working in Emulator.

Let me know how to set up an HTTP connection in android and see the response in Emulator.

I want to give that response as an input to the parser.

I want it working and parsing in Emulator iteself.

The error that I am getting is
