Thanks a lot! Here is the code I used:

new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com/pxi");
ResponseHandler resHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String page = "";
try {
page = httpClient.execute(httpGet, resHandler);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
final String p = page;
Log.e("response" , page);
//return "Successful!";
test.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
test.setText(p);
}
});
}
}).start();

Also this page I found helpful: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html[^]

Okay so I have an app widget and I am trying to make a web request and It just keeps failing. Here is the code:

public class IDEAAllotmentTrackerActivity extends AppWidgetProvider {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
// To prevent any ANR timeouts, we perform the update in a service
context.startService(new Intent(context, UpdateService.class));
}
public static class UpdateService extends Service {
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
// Build the widget update for today
RemoteViews updateViews = null;
try {
updateViews = buildUpdate(this);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		// Build an update that holds the updated widget contents
        
		
        // Push update for this widget to the home screen
        ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(this, IDEAAllotmentTrackerActivity.class);
        AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
        manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, updateViews);
    }

    public RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context context) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
    	HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet("http://www.google.com"));
        StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
        String pageContent = "";
        if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC\_OK){
            ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
            out.close();
            pageContent = out.toString();
            //..more logic
        } else{
            //Closes the connection.
            response.getEntity().getContent().close();
            throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
        }


        RemoteViews update

Actually I am 14 and I wrote one to start defraggler and CCleaner when my computer starts up. But I didn't know that the startup folder only starts exe files instead of BAT files. So know I just run it so I don't have to start both of them manually

Great 3D physics engine that will handle drawing and everything. Great and wonderful software. Go here. :-D :thumbsup:

Well in C# it is very possible to make a nice game in 3D, using the BEPU Physics engine http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blog/Get-a-free-and-open-source-physics-library-in-BEPUphysics-for-Windows-XBox-and-WP7[^]. Haven't tested the DLL with vb thought.

I am at home in VB but will adapt to anything!
