title: Calling Method in Android
body: <p>I am trying to call a method I have written. It compiles except for one line...</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class http extends Activity {
  
  httpMethod();            //will not compile
  
  
  
  public void httpMethod(){
      HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
      HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://site/api/");
  
      try {
          // Add your data
          List&lt;NameValuePair&gt; nameValuePairs = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(2);
  
          // Execute HTTP Post Request
          HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
  
          String test = "hello";
  
          TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
          myTextView.setText(test);
  
      } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      } catch (IOException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      }
  }    
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not the best java guy, but I would think calling the method like so would get a response. "Hello" is not displayed however... </p>
  
  <p>How do I properly call the method?</p>
