[android-beginners] Re: remote app commands sent via http

you are opening a URL, then writing that URL to the stream you open at the URL. that's probably not what you wanted. what's the URL, and what is the "command" you are trying to pass? how does the endpoint accept the command? by reading POST data? through GET parameters?

I'm developing a remote app that sends commands via http. Normally I
type in a link in a browser and the command will work. With Android, I
would like it to work with a press of a button. I tried the following
code and it didn’t work:

           URL url = "" URL(urlString);

            URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
            connection.setDoOutput(true);

            OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter
(connection.getOutputStream());
		out.write(urlString);
		out.close();

"urlstring" is the http command link.

Any ideas? Am I on the wrong track? I'm confused because technically I
don't need to write anything to the link. I would think it would work
if I just open the connection.

Thanks.
