Depending what You want to achieve, much simpler would be using BasicResponseHandler():
…
String response = client.execute(request, new BasicResponseHandler());

well, basically you have to add INTERNET permission in the manifest.

Hi,
the httpClient.execute method generates the following exception:
UnknownHostException: http://www.spartanjava.com

I set the android.permission.INTERNET to the user, this is surely needed even if not mentioned but it didn’t solve the problem.

I tryed both using my real HW (HTC WildFire) and the AVD (with several configuration).

Any suggestions about how to handle this exception and how to set the android environment ?

Many thk in adv to whoever will spend some time for a reply.

Maybe that will help:

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.protocol.BasicHttpContext;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext;

Regarding the above code, do we need to import some parent object before compiling it. Can you give reference to the jar file for Appache services.
