El código que he implementado recientemente que está generando este error en mi aplicación para Android es:

• Android: no se muestra ImageView con UIL y TouchImageView
• ¿Cómo usar el servicio Text-to-Speech de Google para los caracteres chinos en Android?
• Android responde a la URL en intención
• No puede abrir la URL de twitter en la vista web de android
• Enviar URL a través de NFC para ser abierto por el navegador

  FileOutputStream fOut = null; try { fOut = this.openFileOutput("employeeInformation.xml", MODE_PRIVATE); try { InputStream is = new URL("http://totheriver.com/learn/xml/code/employees.xml").openStream(); int size = is.available(); byte[] buffer = new byte[size]; is.read(buffer); is.close(); fOut.write(buffer); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { fOut.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } 

Alguien sabe cual es el problema?
