Make sure you have the "android.permission.INTERNET" Uses Permission
in your AndroidManifest.xml file to enable your app to access the
internet.
I don't know of any preference between HttpClient and URLConnection
(I'd also be happy to know if one of them is preferred).
There's an apps-for-android project which contains app samples created
by Google's Android team. I haven't examined them in-depth, but I'm
sure they have some pretty good usage examples. From just a quick
browse, this class might be a useful reference for you:

Good Luck,
Amos
