I just spent a minute knocking out a test case over a cup of tea. Seems to work fine for me on WIFI, GPRS, and 3G. Tom.
void testConnection() { TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.message); HttpURLConnection conn = null; try { URL url = new URL(" http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG+T&f=sl1c1p2"); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setRequestMethod("GET"); conn.connect(); Reader reader = new InputStreamReader( conn.getInputStream() ); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); for (int c = reader.read(); c >= 0; c = reader.read()) writer.write(c); view.setText(writer.toString()); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e("test", "connection test failed", e); } finally { if (conn != null) conn.disconnect(); } } 2008/11/25 joshv <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I can disclose the URL, it's publicly available and always up - yahoo > finance csv stock price download.
