I've got an app that I'm working on, and I need to call a coldfusion
URL (something like http://corpapps.company.com/STG_PhoneStart.cfm)
whose page should show just a text string (in this case a list of
departments separated with semicolons like AIS - *AA*; AUTOMATION -
*GB*; BACKSITES - *HF*;). It's been a long time since I've done any
work in java and I've never done anything with android before.

The premise is that I'll need to make three calls out to the web. One
to populate the department list, one to search the directory for a
results screen, and one to search from the results screen for a
details page. I know the logic to parse the text given on the page
after I have it as a string, that's not much of an issue. The problem
I'm having is I don't know how to connect to the pages to get the
information in the first place.

Basically, First screen is a layout with EditTexts for fname, lname,
location, phone, and a Spinner for departments (which aren't in the
searchscreen.xml, but need to be dynamic). Search button and clear
button. When you click search button, it takes the parts that have
been filled in and uses those to form the URL for the second search,
which returns another text string which I will use to make the results
page (three columns, NAME, PHONE NUMBER, LOCATION), and you can select
a person from that page, and it'll make one more call (to get more
details like email, assistant, etc.) and then use it to make the
details page.

All I need is to know how to have my Search button make the next
screen come up and connect to the URL to get the results so I can fill
the columns on the page.

Any help?
