Hi
Problem with url.openConnection() is undefined and am completly new to java, here is a sample code i got online :

Java

HttpURLConnection connection = null;       
		String semifinalUrlString = "http://www.google.com/";  
		URL url = new URL(semifinalUrlString);      
		connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();      
		connection.connect();

One possible reason may be missing proper imports. There must be imports like:

Java

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;

For more you can have a look on discussion here:

Hope that issue will be resolved, if not please update us with new error message u get. Thanks.

The java.net.URL conflicts with the type defined in the same file and also the openConnection() is not defined

In that case..what if you use fully qualified names. If the term "fully qualified name" is new to you....please have a look on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17875823/how-to-resolve-class-name-to-fully-qualified-in-java
