Easy fix: Use try/catch -statement and catch the exception to prevent it from crashing your whole application. — Araw

Likely the tablet temporary switching off the network to save energy. Add try/catch to your requests and probably do 2-3 tries in some interval before you will show error to user.

This type of exception happens when you try to switch networks , or the required Network isn't available.

Use try/catch block to prevent crashing of application.
