I am not quite certain what you are asking, so here's a firehose... Android offers two HTTP access options. One is the standard Java HttpUrlConnection and kin. This has been around for a decade-plus. Here are some examples of its use: http://exampledepot.com/taxonomy/term/187 http://exampledepot.com/taxonomy/term/191 Android also has Apache HttpClient 4.x as part of the SDK. This has its own Web site: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/ with its own examples: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/examples.html The primary Android-specific thing is to add the INTERNET permission to your manifest. Here is a sample Android project for retrieving weather forecasts from the US National Weather Service, using HttpClient: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Service/WeatherPlus/ Here is a sample Twitter client, using HttpClient: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-andtutorials/tree/master/15-HttpClient/Patchy/ I am fairly certain there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other samples on Google Code, GitHub, and elsewhere. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
