Just to make sure we know exactly which method you are really talking about, it is always a good idea to specify which package the method under discussion is in. I assume you are talking about the openStream() method of the URL class in package java.net (openstream came up with exact matches only in posts).
If so, the answer is yes, it is still supported. In fact, it is hard to imaging using the URL class without it. I'll give away another little trade secret too: I figured this out by doing a Google query with keys "android developer openstream". So now that we know your first guess was wrong, openStream() is still supported, your stack trace only tells us a null pointer exception (NPE) took place, but it does not show which line of your code might have triggered this. Now what I would like to know is why the ActivityThread mentioned in your trace is documented in the 1.0 version of the Android Javadocs, but not in the most current (2.2) online docs. But this might not help here anyway. Back to your problem: when the internal Android code comes back with a NPE, it usually means you left something uninitialized or improperly initialized: I often see this, for example, with the MediaPlayer if the URL is not squeaky clean and the website online. But since you gave a stack trace including only our own code, we cannot help you figure out which thing was left improperly initialized.
