Are you asking how to retrieve data from a internet location? Is it a webpage or ...?

Hi...thanks for your reply.
It is not from a website. Ok...i want to update some variable values such as string and integers. For example, i want to update the movie screening time and display it in my phone application. What i want to do is...let the application do auto-fetch data every day in the morning. And the source of data is from a server (a computer somewhere near)

Im currently using Sqlite to do the create a database in the phone application. In this case, i will need to syncronize my database with the server. So how do i do it?

Typically, you would look for a server that provides an XML file that you can download and parse to get the information. You would request that XML file and pass it to the SAX parser to process.
