The Alert Dialog keeps on appearing even if the network is connected. I have checked my code and it is right. Please help.

Treehouse TeacherActually, your code isn't right :). You've got a space in your URL string which is going to make 'response.isSuccessful()' return false.
Here's the difference in the URL that gets generated. This one has a space after 'forecast/':
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/ 8565fa7afca9865c4475ddd7a84e9c81/37.8267,-122.423
And this one doesn't:
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/8565fa7afca9865c4475ddd7a84e9c81/37.8267,-122.423
