// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    // To use an HTTP proxy, set the following properties

    // Use a domain name or IP address.
    http.put_ProxyDomain("172.16.16.24");

    // The port at which your HTTP proxy is listening for HTTP requests.
    http.put_ProxyPort(808);

    // If your HTTP proxy requires authentication...
    http.put_ProxyLogin("myProxyLogin");
    http.put_ProxyPassword("myProxyPassword");

    // At this point, all Chilkat HTTP methods for sending POST's, GET's, or anything else
    // will use the HTTP proxy.  The remainder of your code is the same.
    // Using an HTTP proxy only requires the above properties to be set beforehand...

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
