How To Use Ignition Http Classes To Make Get Request?

The documentation for [Ignition][1] is rather sparse. I'm looking at the documentation for the HTTP classes, such as link here, but I'm confused. My current code looks something li

Solution 1:

Use the IgnitedHttp class : link

So,

new IgnitedHttp(context).get("http://www.example.com") 

Will return IgnitedHttpRequest object that you can call the send() method on.

See for more info on IgnitedHttpRequest : link

This send() will return an IgnitedHttpResponse object that you can call the getResponseBodyAsString().

See for more info on IgnitedHttpResponse : link

All in all,

new IgnitedHttp(context).get(url).send().getResponseBodyAsString() 

Is the answer to your first question. Your 2nd question's answer is that IgnitedHttp also has methods for posts, puts, etc.

here is the sample activity that does a lot of what you may want to do too : https://github.com/mttkay/ignition/blob/master/ignition-support/ignition-support-samples/src/com/github/ignition/samples/support/IgnitedHttpSampleActivity.java

Enjoy using the best piece of code I've found.
