Simply adding to AndroidManifest.xml

seems to not be enough to be able to make a request.

The only way I got this to work was to add the following code prior to calling the getResponseFromHttpUrl method
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build(); StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

I didn't see this issue reported and this was the only way I got the request to return results, otherwise an error would be thrown.
android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException at android.os.StrictMode$AndroidBlockGuardPolicy.onNetwork(StrictMode.java:1273)
Please advise on the best way to proceed regarding this issue.

This is actually the expected behavior for this exercise. The next exercise shows how to get the networking onto a background thread.
