HTTP Client problems

[imanewbe]

Hi

I have just finished watching the Android Application Development Tutorial 147-149. I am trying to get httpclient working but am having no luck.
It crashes on the getInternetData() line. I have added internet permissions. I have tried it using the Emulator and also a Samsung Galaxy SII.
Do I need to do anything else to get this working?
This is what I have:

package com.cornboyz.thebasics;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HttpExample extends Activity {

	TextView httpStuff;
	
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.httpex);
		httpStuff = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtHttp);
		GetMethodEx test = new GetMethodEx();
		String result;
		try {
			result = test.getInternetData();
			httpStuff.setText(result);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}

}

Here is the printstack:
