Getting Data from the Web - Task 2

Question

I am not sure why my code isn't working. May I request assistance?

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{
      @Override
    protected String doInBackground (Object... arg0)
    }

    @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);
        }
      return ""
    }
}

You don't need the return statement at the bottom because onCreate() is a void method (meaning it doesn't return anything).

Then you need to add a new class after onCreate() but before the closing brace of the MainListActivity class. Here's a hint to get you started:

private class CustomAsyncTask ...
