Thanks Bob,
I got very good information from this...
Let me explain thing i want to do..
There is a database present at some IP http://10.117.23.45/databases/database.db
I want to access this database from my android application.. for this
im using HttpURLConnection interface..
The way that im accessing the database is fine r not????
try
{
URL url = new URL("http://www.uploadhub.com/mobile9/
gallery/gallery_android/");
HttpURLConnection conn =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
}
The code above i have given is some sample only..
As u said how to implement RESTful interface instead of doing this??
If u have any idea of code please let me know...
Thanks for the information in advance..
Cheers
Uday
