HTTP Get Request

In this post, you can learn how to make a httpclient for HTTP Get Request to retrieve contents of a stream. Please find below the android source code example.

public static InputStream getInputStreamFromUrl(String url) {

  InputStream content = null;

  try {

    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(url));

    content = response.getEntity().getContent();

  } catch (Exception e) {

    Log.e("[GET REQUEST]", "Network exception");

  }

    return content;

}
