Add permissions in your Manifest.xml before application tag.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
     <user-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.karolis.myapk" >

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
     <user-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <service
            android:name=".MyService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true" >
        </service>
    </application>

</manifest>

<user-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

should be

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

That worked for me. I also added to give access to write in Downloads/ folder

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
