Q:

Android Update TextView(News feed) from Server

I am trying to develop as part of my app a sort of news feed for the user.  When the user opens the app there will be a box at the top of the app which includes a greeting and information about the user or other information. This information would be pulled from a server.  I think I just answered my own question.  Would an HTTP Get be the best way to go about this?  So it sends a request then updates the textview or whatever according to the information it recieves from the server?

A:

Use an HttpClient to get data from the network, but make sure you do this inside of an AsyncTask so your application doesn't stop responding.
