Demonstrates how to load XML from a remote URL, such as https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hamlet.xml 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 example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();
    CkStringBuilder sbXml = new CkStringBuilder();

    //  Download the XML from the URL into sbXml
    success = http.QuickGetSb("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hamlet.xml",sbXml);
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, http.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    CkXml xml = new CkXml();

    //  Load the XML contained in sbXml
    success = xml.LoadSb(sbXml,true);
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, xml.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    Log.i(TAG, "Success.");

  }

  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."
