Failure on my call object.

I'm getting the problem of retrieving data from the URL... I checked the value of forecaseURL variable and it works on my browser. I suspect that the internet connection on my emulator is not working but I don't know how to fix it. I didn't find anything about the internet access when I configurated the AVD. Could you help me out? Thanks, Kevin

You can always check the internet access on the emulator by starting the web browser and going to an external site like google.com or something. It would help to see your code and any message that was logged by the failure.

It is because of the internet connection on the emulator. Everything is fine with the default AVD of android studio. But I couldn't get it work on genymotion... still couldn't figure out what was wrong with genymotion...

Open Oracle VM Virtual Box (Genymotion installed this), select your emulator and click Setting then Network. Make sure enabled is checked and attached to "Host-only Adapter"
