How to read an HTTP input stream?

Question

The code pasted below was taken from Javadocs on HttpURLConnection.

I get the following error:

readStream(in)  

...as there is no such method.

I see this same thing in the Class Overview for URLConnection at URLConnection.getInputStream

Where is readStream? The code snippet is provided below:

 URL url = new URL("http://www.android.com/");        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();        try      {              InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());              readStream(in);  <-----NO SUCH METHOD     }     finally      {              urlConnection.disconnect();        }  

Answer 1

Try with this code:

InputStream in = address.openStream(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in)); StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(); String line; while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {     result.append(line); } System.out.println(result.toString());
