You are attempting to download news.txt. Given your code, when downloaded, that file will appear in: /data/data/your.package.here/files > I have <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></ > uses-permission> included in my Manifest, this just has to be > physically typed in right? I don't need to add it in some way. No, but it might be in the wrong spot. If you could, post both your AndroidManifest.xml that you are using with the above code and the actual Java error you are receiving (via adb logcat, DDMS, the DDMS perspective in Eclipse). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
