Re: [android-developers] How to send a string using HTTP GET from an android app

Thanks Jason.

I am going away.

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass but have you ever been a newbie and googled ' how to call a method in eclipse' or 'eclipse calling a function'

I understand, now, that this is not a forum for me to be posting on.

Can you suggest a forum for absolute beginners?

Anyway, thanks for the time that you spent on this - I do appreciate your help.

Wow.... I really feel sorry for you, so I'm just going to give you the answer...

Change this:

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}

to this:

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try
    {
        executeHttpGet();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
         //There was a problem running executeHttpGet() so display some sort of error to the user
    }

}

 

And then I am REALLY recommending that you start with some extremely basic programming tutorials...

You wrote a method that does something. In order for that method to actually do it's thing, you have to call it. Justin is suggesting you do that, because currently you are not.
