Blog reader task 3 code challenge

I keep getting an error on this code. I am not sure why at this point, I thought syntax, but maybe not. any help would be appreciated.

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();

private class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {

  @Override 
    protected String doInBackground(Object... agro0) {
      return"";

      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);
    }
 }

} @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

  CustomAsyncTask customAsyncTask = new CustomAsyncTask();
  customAsyncTask.execute();
}

}
