Android - How to perform an HTTP GET request?
===

I'm new to Android and i have a problem that I can not fix. I'm trying to perform an http get request, to download something from a web page (text or image).
What i need is to build a class that allows me to do that and use it in my app when i need it.

The idea is to have two methods:
1) to download text from a url (return me a String)
2) to download image (return me a Bitmap)
So after i can use them where i need!

Example: I have a url where there is an image, i use my method downloadBitmap() to get it and then i can do what i want...like put it into an ImageView for display.

Anyone want to help me with some code?

p.s. I apologize for my bad English :)
