Answer 1

Hey StrictMode Class was introduced in API Level 9 and your project target is API Level 8. Please Refer this link. So You are getting the error.

Answer 2

Go to the AndroidManifest.xml file

In your File the minSdkVersion is 8

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

Change The SDK version to 9 like shown below

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />

it will solve your problem.
