android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException . Need to use async task?
<p>I'm having a problem with my android login functionality, getting <code>android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException</code></p>

<p>I removed the password field just for now to test if just the username was being posted, I'm aware that this is a problem for android 3.2+.</p>

<p>Here is my code: </p>

<pre><code>package com.example.toknapp;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class login2 extends Activity {
    EditText un;
    TextView error;
    Button ok;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.login);
        un=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_un);
        ok=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
        error=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_error);

        ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt; postParameters = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;();
                postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", un.getText().toString()));
                //String valid = "1";
                String response = null;
                try {
                    response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://tokn.me/android_merchant_login.php", postParameters);
                    String res=response.toString();
                   // res = res.trim();
                    res= res.replaceAll("\\s+","");                              
                    //error.setText(res);

                   if(res.equals("1"))
                        error.setText("Correct Username or Password");
                    else
