  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override

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

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    //  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the
    //  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.

    http.put_Password("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD");
    http.put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN");

    //  The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
    //  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
    //  establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

    //  This example will delete the file named "penguins2.jpg"
    //  which is located in the "/Documents" folder.

    //  how to get (and cache) a form digest value

    //  Add additional required headers.
    req.AddHeader("IF-MATCH","*");

        Log.i(TAG, "Response status code = " + String.valueOf(resp.get_StatusCode()));
        Log.i(TAG, xml.getXml());

        //  For example, if the file did not exist, this would be the XML response:
