Unable to resolve host "" No address associated with hostname
Make sure the URL is valid and the device is connected to the internet. Don't forget to include the internet permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
```xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
You might also consider setting a well-known DNS such as 8.8.8.8
and 1.1.1.1
. Finally, try to test the URL in a browser or use ping to check the internet connection.
Check manifest and permissions
First, confirm that you're requesting the necessary internet permission
in your AndroidManifest.xml. It needs to be placed within the <manifest>
tag but before </manifest>
tag. Permissions misplacement can lead to your internet request being denied.
Network connection sanity check
It's essential to confirm whether your device or emulator has a stable internet connection. You can restart your emulator or even your physical device if you're experiencing network-related issues. They're just like humans, they need a reboot every now and then!
URL Validity and Accessibility
Make sure the URL you're requesting is correct and accessible. Try accessing the URL from different browsers or even different devices. If it's not accessible, even the Avengers can't help you get a response!
Check your network configuration
Sometimes, system security settings or firewalls could block network requests. Check your settings and ensure your app is allowed to access the internet.
Employ third-party libraries
Sometimes, third-party libraries can handle network operations more efficiently. For complex tasks, like working with RSS feeds, consider relying on their expertise.
Validate domain and DNS
Ensure that the URL domain is registered and trusted by the internet community. Even in the digital world, trust issues persist.
