public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

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

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

    CkHttpRequest req = new CkHttpRequest();
    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    boolean success;

    // The PROPFIND request to be sent will look similar to this:
    // This is from RFC 4918 at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9.1.3

    //      PROPFIND /file HTTP/1.1
    //      Host: www.example.com
    //      Content-type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
    //      Content-Length: xxxx
    // 
    //      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    //      <D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">
    //        <D:prop xmlns:R="http://ns.example.com/boxschema/">
    //          <R:bigbox/>
    //          <R:author/>
    //          <R:DingALing/>
    //          <R:Random/>
    //        </D:prop>
    //      </D:propfind>

    // Build the HTTP request object. 

    // The HTTP verb should be "PROPFIND"
    req.put_HttpVerb("PROPFIND");

    // The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
    // the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
    // be utf-8:
    req.put_ContentType("application/xml");
    req.put_Charset("utf-8");
    req.put_SendCharset(true);

    // Load the request body with the XML.  Your application 
    // is free to construct the XML using any means desired.
    // Once the XML is prepared, load it into the request body
    // like this:
    String xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
    success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, req.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // For this example, pretend the WEBDAV endpoint is:
    // https://webdav.chilkatstorage.com/

    // Note: There is no actual "chilkatstorage.com" site.  
    // This is only an example...

    // The "path" part of this endpoint URL is simply "/".

    // Send the request to the WebDAV endpoint using 
    // the SynchronousRequest method:
    CkHttpResponse resp;

    resp = http.SynchronousRequest("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req);
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, http.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Get the XML response:
    String responseXml;
    responseXml = resp.bodyStr();
    Log.i(TAG, "XML Response: " + responseXml);

    // Get the response status code, such as 207
    int statusCode;
    statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode();
    Log.i(TAG, "StatusCode = " + String.valueOf(statusCode));

  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."
