Is there a faster way to download a page from the net to a string?
- by cphil5
I have tried other methods to download info from a URL, but needed a faster one. I need to download and parse about 250 separate pages, and would like the app to not appear ridiculously slow. This is the code I am currently using to retrieve a single page, any insight would be great.
try
{
URL myURL = new URL("http://www.google.com");
URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection();
InputStream inputStream = ucon.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);
ByteArrayBuffer byteArrayBuffer = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
int current = 0;
while ((current = bufferedInputStream.read()) != -1) {
byteArrayBuffer.append((byte) current);
}
tempString = new String(byteArrayBuffer.toByteArray());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.i("Error",e.toString());
}
