Before you can access the internet you must enable internet access, add the line below to your AndroidManifest.xml file (I added mine under the minSdkVersion entry)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Now you can add this function to get the HTML of a website..
1: public String getHTML(String urlToRead) {
2: URL url;
3: HttpURLConnection conn;
4: BufferedReader rd;
5: String line;
6: String result = "";
7: try {
8: url = new URL(urlToRead);
9: conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
10: conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
11: rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
12: while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
13: result += line;
14: }
15: rd.close();
16: } catch (Exception e) {
17: Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
18: }
19: return result;
20: }
And example usage..
String s = getHTML("http://lerietaylor.com/");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), s, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
