This is MainActivity.java
This is HttpHandler.java
The logcat result is as shown in my post, not sure if there's any other useful response to show.
Code:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
contactList = new ArrayList<>();
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
new GetContacts().execute();
}

Log.e(TAG, "Response from url: " + jsonStr);
if (jsonStr != null) {

// Getting JSON Array node
