Question

I’m working with Eclipse (Android Developer Tools)
This page gives me two errors, could someone explain what’s to do please?

thanks a lot!

package com.example.myproject;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.entity.BufferedHttpEntity;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class InternetTest extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_internet_test);

        // Internet test

        HttpGet httppost = new HttpGet("http://myurl.com/test.txt");

        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        HttpEntity ht = response.getEntity();

        BufferedHttpEntity buf = new BufferedHttpEntity(ht);

        InputStream is = buf.getContent();


        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

        StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
            total.append(line + "\n");
        }

        TextView.setText(total);

        // test done
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_internetseiten_test, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

The errors:

“httpclient cannot be resolved”

“Cannot make a static reference to the none-static methode setText(CharSequence) from the type TextView”

I imported external jars ( these: http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi )

Thanks!

Answer 1

The first error is caused because you haven never specified what httpClient is.

    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
    HttpEntity ht = response.getEntity();

The second problem is because you are making a static call to a non-static function. You have to tell the system what TextView to set the text to. Not knowing it’s name, I’ll just show you roughly how it’s done.

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.someTextBox)).setText(total);
