Submission instructions: As usual

The Application

You have to build a simple internet-enabled application. Here is how it looks like:

The application has two buttons.

GET button

When you press the GET button, you have to make an HTTP GET call to the URL

    https://luca-ucsc-teaching-backend.appspot.com/hw3/request_via_get 

passing the value abracadabra (exactly, no spaces) for the variable token .

Your app will receive back a string value, which you have to display unchanged above the buttons.

If your app works correctly, the string will say "GET done correctly" (you should display the text you receive, not this text).

POST button

When you press the POST button, you have to make an HTTP POST call to the URL

    https://luca-ucsc-teaching-backend.appspot.com/hw3/request_via_post 

passing the value abracadabra (exactly, no spaces) for the variable token .

Your app will receive back a string value, which you have to display unchanged above the buttons.

If your app works correctly, the string will say "POST done correctly" (you should display the text you receive, not this text).

Starter Code

You might find the code of our AndroidPhoneHome application very useful.
