I'm having an issue returning an empty string I have gone through everything I can think of. can anyone lead me in the right direction here please. I pay really close attention to instruction and videos but for some reason can not get an empty string to return
package com.example;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import android.util.Log;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {
public static final String URL = "http://www.teamtreehouse.com";
public static final String TAG = MainListActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);
try {
URL treehouseUrl = new URL(URL);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) treehouseUrl.openConnection();
connection.connect();
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "MalformedURLException caught!", e);
}
catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "IOException caught!", e);
}
}
private class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String>{
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... params) {
return "";
}
}
}

2,455 Pointsfor some reason I can place all the code here

Treehouse TeacherIf I paste your exact code in I am passing the challenge. If you are still having problems, can you take a screenshot and link to it in here or send it to help@teamtreehouse.com?
When you paste, surround your code with three backticks and "java" on the line before it and three backticks on the line below it, like this:
```java
String test = "This is a test";
```
``java String test = "This is a test";
To link to an image, upload it to a site like imgur and link to it with Markdown syntax. See the Markdown Cheatsheet linked below the comment box.

2,455 Pointsyes I was having an issue with the code challenge site the next day I did it again and it excepted it. I'm sorry I should have posted back solved. though this isn't the first time I had issues with it. Usually if I wait a day it will work right. again I cant thank you enough for the help.
