Im doing some database work in my app, i want to pull all the locations from my web database and show it in my listview in the app. Ive created the “API” where the respons is Json.
The link where the json is: http://000100023.host56.com/db_all.php
Using this tutorial: http://www.androidhive.info/2012/05/how-to-connect-android-with-php-mysql/
The Logcat:

Any help is much appreciated!
Answer
your URL string is wrong, you wrote it like:
Private static String url_all_products = "http://http://000100023.host56.com/db_all.php";
it should be:
Private static String url_all_products = "http://000100023.host56.com/db_all.php";
one http:// is enough 😉
