android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException问题，为什么new了一个thread还是无法连接到服务器端？

import java.net.URL;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MenuActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

	private TextView textView;
	private Button button;
	private String username;
	
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);
		
		init();
		
		Intent intent = getIntent();
		username = intent.getStringExtra("username");
		
		textView.setText("欢迎您," + username);
		
		button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				new Thread(postData).run();
			}
		});
	}
	
	public void init(){
		textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
		button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
	}
	
	Runnable postData = new Runnable(){
		public void run() {
			String httpUrl = "http://192.168.3.5:8080/showPost/ShowPost?comment=123";
			try {
				URL url = new URL(httpUrl);
				url.openConnection();
			} catch (Exception e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
	};
}

主要的问题出在new Thread()，和Runnable那里吧？之前版本的android应该是不用new一个线程，但是新版本就得这么写了，可是服务器端还是没有反应额，求大神指教，谢谢~~~
