This example shows how to create a new SharePoint list. Android™

// 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);

    boolean success = false;

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

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    //  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
    //  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
    http.put_Login("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME");
    http.put_Password("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD");
    http.put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN");
    http.put_NtlmAuth(true);

    //  The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
    //  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
    //  establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

    //  To create a list, we're going to POST to
    //  https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/lists
    //  with a request body containing the following JSON:
    //  
    //  {
    //    "__metadata": {
    //      "type": "SP.List"
    //    },
    //    "AllowContentTypes": true,
    //    "BaseTemplate": 100,
    //   "ContentTypesEnabled": true,
    //   "Description": "My list description",
    //   "Title": "Test"
    //  }

    //  This example will create a folder named ChilkatTest in /Documents
