Setting URL in an Android application?

Question

Within my Android application I want to connect to a PHP file on my server/web host. Currently I cannot POST data to the PHP file, I think I am passing the URL in an incorrect format.

Using a Google URL as an example, would this be correct in order to establish the path to my PHP file?

URL url = new URL("http://74.125.224.72/myFile.php");

It seems that you have an extra space in your URL

URL url = new URL("http://74.125.224.72 /myFile.php");

must be

URL url = new URL("http://74.125.224.72/myFile.php");

EDIT You can also use the android Uri class and build it using the Uri.Builder

Uri uri = new Uri.Builder()
    .scheme("http")
    .authority("74.125.224.72")
    .appendPath("myFile.php")
    .build();

Sorry, that was a mistake. Doe the URL look ok otherwise?

It seems ok. I edited my answer to show you the use of Uri.Builder.
