Your use of HttpGet is good. However, you cast an InputStream to a char-sequence when calling tv.setText((CharSequence)input);. This will give you a class-cast exception. Read char-data from the InputStream instead.
Also, try to find out if 'entity' has some methods to get a String back that has the content of the HttpResponse. Then you can skip handling the InputStream and reading a string from it. Also, did you give your app internet-permission?
