I'v got the following piece of code:
try {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://www.flashstall.com/json.txt");
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("m40", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
}
When I run it it logs "Error in http connection java.net.UnkownHostException: www.flashstall.com".
What am I doing wrong?
If I read your question correctly, you have a network error. The UnknownHostException is thrown when the hostname cannot be resolved. In your case its: www.flashstall.com.
Looks like you cannot access the site www.flashstall.com because perhaps you are not connected to the internet.
How to verify:
Open your adb shell $>adb shell and try to ping www.flashstall.com.
From my understanding, you can't have json.txt as a part of the URI.
For a basic example convert your json.txt file into a php file and just echo your data. Then you'll be able to use it as:
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://www.flashstall.com/json.php");
For a more detailed example check here.
