Error message ‘java.net.SocketException: socket failed: EACCES (Permission denied)’

I get the error message

java.net.SocketException: socket failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

when I try to apply the code below. This is the function I call and gives me this exception.

public void run() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    URL myurl = null;

    try {
        myurl = new URL("http://10.0.2.2/list.JSON");
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        URLConnection myconn = myurl.openConnection();
        InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(myconn.getInputStream());
        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(in);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(reader);
        String line;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        while ((line=br.readLine()) != null)
        {
            sb.append(line);
            //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "I enter here", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        jsoncode = sb.toString();
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    threading = true;
    super.run();
}

And this is my manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.apk"
    android:versionCode="1"

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

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity

            android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <activity android:name="Details"></activity>
        <activity android:name="updateimage"></activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

How can I fix this problem?
