You had a great sample. I used this information to develop an implementation of my own. Could not done it without.

I am trying to make an http request within android but i am getting a Java.IO.FileNotFound exception. This would suggest the url path is incorrect however i tried it in a browser and it works.

Here is my code:
//urlString is the properly formatted string
URL url = new URL(urlString);

/* Get a SAXParser from the SAXPArserFactory. */
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();

/* Get the XMLReader of the SAXParser we created. */
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/* Create a new ContentHandler and apply it to the XML-Reader*/
Handler myHandler = new Handler();
xr.setContentHandler(myHandler);

/* Parse the xml-data from our URL. */


InputStream iStream = url.openStream();
InputSource is = new InputSource(iStream);
xr.parse(is);

The exception is thrown on url.openStream(); All other requests i make are working in android. This includes another request i make within the same activity work. I have already set security permissions in the androidmanifest.xml file. What seems to be the problem?

I have resolved the issue and the app is running fine now.

The super of SingleWeatherInfoView which was extending the LinearLayout class had a parameter of "Map", which is not available in the LinearLayout.

Removed the Map, and its working fine.

SingleWeatherInfoView.java - line 41
public SingleWeatherInfoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
Map inflateParams) {
super(context, attrs, inflateParams);

Thank you so much.



Hi,

First of wall hello, I am new in the forum. I have been reading it but still not registered.

I am trying to run this tutorial but it is not running. When I modify this:

SingleWeatherInfoView.java - line 41
public SingleWeatherInfoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
Map inflateParams) {
super(context, attrs, inflateParams);

In the main.xml I got NullpointerException:null, My main.xml is like follows:

In my case I put the project in agenda.test that's why it is changed. But I tried the same as the original one and still didn't run. This is how SingleWeatherInfoView looks like(I tried the original code changing the method, deleting the MAP also, but didn't run either so I was trying this code that I found here, in this same post, but I don't know if it is correct or not:

I was trying to modify by myself the code, but I don't really know how to put the SingleWeatherInfoView in the main, it never finds the class.


Here I upload all the project (I commented the R.id.weather_1 and so on in the Weatherforecast.java to be able to compile, because it did not find them).

Thanks in advance,
