Making our code Asynchronous: Android Studio won't allow IOException in catch block, no weather data in logcat

Android Studio(Latest Build) does not allow the catch block and says IOException is never thrown. App compiles and runs but logcat only returns:

03-04 11:09:18.221 14450-14476/com.thetechguys.mbepo V/MainActivity﹕ com.squareup.okhttp.internal.http.RealResponseBody@41ed0b98

Here is my code: 

import com.squareup.okhttp.Callback;
import com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient;
import com.squareup.okhttp.Request;
import com.squareup.okhttp.Response;
import com.thetechguys.mbepo.R;

import java.io.IOException;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        String apiKey = "3b69dd09645b01d78c4996ed7c425744";
        double latitude = 37.8267 ;
        double longitude = -122.423;
        String forecastURL = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/" + apiKey + "/" + latitude + "," + longitude;

        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
        Request request = new Request.Builder().url(forecastURL).build();

        Call call = client.newCall(request);
        call.enqueue(new Callback() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {

                if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                    Log.v(TAG, response.body().toString());
                }

            }
        });

    }



}```

My issue was the wrong chain constructor on the returned 'response', I used toString() instead of string(). Now it works. Guess we'd also need to explicitly catch the IOException in onFailure if we want to declare another local IOException in try/catch block in onResponse.
