That tutorial is rather old from the standpoint of Android. Most tutorials written before September 2008 will require some amount of modification to work on current Android SDK editions. > The example was called Chapter 5: Loading a List from the Web. when i > use eclipse with the source, the error i get is "UIThreadUtilities > cannot be resolved".

That class was removed from the SDK, IIRC. > 2. recommend an alternative way for me to pull info from a URL(or php > page) or a database. Use a more up-to-date resource! There are many open source Android projects on code.google.com and github.com. Many of these download data off of the Web. For example, there projects in the apps-for-android project on Google Code that work with Flickr's API. There are several books on Android, at least some of which have their source code available for download, and some of which cover HTTP operations. For example, you can download the source code for my book off of http://commonsware.com/Android/. Other books and programming resources can be found on my knol: http://knol.google.com/k/mark-murphy/android-programming For HttpClient proper, there are examples out on their site: http://hc.apache.org -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
