// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    // Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
    // This applies to any of the Chilkat method calls that send a GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or anything else..
    http.put_AuthToken("ya29.a0Ad52N3_4P_LpZS......WZr44LJ6w017");

    // For example:
    String responseStr = http.quickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml");
    Log.i(TAG, responseStr);

    // The following HTTP request is sent in the above call.

    // GET /helloWorld.xml HTTP/1.1
    // Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
    // Accept: */*
    // Accept-Encoding: gzip
    // Authorization: Bearer ya29.a0Ad52N3_4P_LpZS......WZr44LJ6w017

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
