title: Connecting Azure to Android Studios
body: <p>I am trying to connect Azure to Android Studios. I have followed the tutorial on Azure and created a mobile service. It then gave me some code to add to my app so that they are connected. However, the code is throwing an exception which I cannot figure out. I have searched the internet from head to toe and cannot find an answer. I think it has something to do with the dependencies or the way the library was imported (which was by pasting a jar file into the libs folder and adding a dependency).</p>
  
  <p>The code throwing causing the exception (provided by Azure):</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
          mClient = new MobileServiceClient(
                  "https://atm.azure-mobile.net/",
                  "JWjetFMUVaAXzHmqDVqhkkRhTGGjeW70",
                  this
          );
          Item item = new Item();
          item.Text = "Awesome item";
          mClient.getTable(Item.class).insert(item, new TableOperationCallback&lt;Item&gt;() {
              public void onCompleted(Item entity, Exception exception, ServiceFilterResponse response) {
                  if (exception == null) {
                      // Insert succeeded
                      Toast.makeText(context, "WOOHOO", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                  } else {
                      // Insert failed
                      Toast.makeText(context, "FAILED", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                  }
              }
          });
      }
      catch(MalformedURLException d) {
      }
