Hi

you need to do this while making a get request.

public boolean funtionAtSite(String sentUrl) {
        String url = sentUrl;
        HttpGet getMethod = new HttpGet(url);
        DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        try {
            ResponseHandler<String> reponseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            String responseBody = client.execute(getMethod, reponseHandler);
            /******** now do what you want to do with response **********/
            if (responseBody.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) {
                Log.v(TAG, responseBody);
                return true;
            }
                return false;
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            return false;
        }
    }

No. The exception is still incact. I also added the permission.
