Hi, Sounds like you are talking about writing a crawler, basically :-) (Fooling the web site into believing you are just another user with a browser). To input Username/Password between your app and the web server you will likely need to construct a Post, containing the UID and Password, to send to the Roger's Wireless login URL. To get back the info you read the results of the Post and parse out the info from the returned HTML. (There may also be ssl involved if you want to keep the uid/pwd encrypted on the wire).
If you are lucky there might be a web service interface to Roger's Wireless(Canada) in which case you may be able to use JSON or XML or something else to wrap up the communications in a more structured form. If there is no web services interface and you will be using the crawler style interface you will use the org.apache.http.* interfaces to deal with the http communications. These packages are all in the Android system. If you have a web services interface you will also use org.w3c.dom.* interfaces for XML parsing. Of if it is JSON you can use the open- source json. Interfaces (the sources of which you will need to include in your app) The interfaces for the DOM are in the Android system. JSON is not and will need to be included in your app. Hope this helps… On Dec 22, 3:18 am, Matthew Patience <matthewj.patie...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm attempting to create an app that will display usage information > for customers of Roger's Wireless(Canada).
