<p>Very new to coding but have accomplished quite a bit so far I am able to send an echo to the website from the application Ive been creating with this line of code</p>

<pre><code>String url  = "http://beatswith.us/mtest.php?username=";
</code></pre>

<p>Anything after the = shows back in response... What I cant figure out is how to send whats entered into the edit text field to the url hereis the entire code so far</p>
