How to display web service errors using toast (Android)

How to display web service errors using toast (Android)

How to handle web service errors such as 500 or 404 and display them
inside a toast in android, here is some of my code below:
public String readJSONFeed(String URL) {
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(URL);
try {
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(line);
}
inputStream.close();
} else if (statusCode == 500) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"JSON - Failed to download file",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("readJSONFeed", e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
Once I have run this code and experience an error such as 500
