hello Droid,
you can use this method to get return string from server
private InputStream OpenHttpConnection(String urlString)
throws IOException
{
InputStream in = null;
int response = -1;
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
if (!(conn instanceof HttpURLConnection))
throw new IOException("Not an HTTP connection");
try{
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) conn;
httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
httpConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConn.connect();
response = httpConn.getResponseCode();
if (response == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
in =
httpConn.getInputStream();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new IOException("Error connecting");
}
return in;
}
private String DownloadText(String URL)
{
int BUFFER_SIZE = 2000;
InputStream in = null;
try {
in = OpenHttpConnection(URL);
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
return "";
}
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in);
int charRead;
String str = "";
char[] inputBuffer = new char[BUFFER_SIZE];
try {
while ((charRead = isr.read(inputBuffer))>0)
{
//---convert the chars to a String---
String readString =
String.copyValueOf(inputBuffer, 0,
charRead);
str += readString;
inputBuffer = new char[BUFFER_SIZE];
}
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return "";
}
return str;
}
try call this function in your main code, where str is return string
from server
String str = DownloadText("http://kabarku.com/androidwww/endyk-
test.php");
textView.setText(str);
extend your self that code, happy coding :)
