Phone test not working

I have finished the Blog Reader App and It works on the simulator. But when I try to run it on my phone

HTC One X, Android 4.1.1

I get the Oops Sorry! There was an error getting data from the blog window.

There are no errors listed in my code.

Any ideas where I should be looking?

Hi Sam,

Great question. Troubleshooting is an art! First, I would plug the URL we're using into a browser window to make sure that the site is available: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/?count=20

Then I'd take a look at the doInBackground method and debug it. Maybe add some log statements or step through it line by line to see where it fails. Hopefully that would give you an answer or more information about where to look next.

Let me know how it goes. There is a bug in the code that could also be contributing to this problem. Check out this forum post for a bugfix that you could try: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/trying-to-retrieve-data-from-my-own-blog-help

Hope this helps!
