Body
My code (below) tries to get the final URL returned from a server that does a bit of redirecting. It works fine as long as the URLs have an http scheme. My problem arises when I want to return a URL with a different scheme. Ultimately I want, in some situations, to return a market:// url or other app launch schemes since this is for Android and I want to start Intents with them. So this gets me as far as retrieving the final http url, but when the final url is market:// it throws the exception seen (java.lang.IllegalStateException: Scheme 'market' not registered), and then getURI doesn't provide that one, it'll provide whatever was before that. <pre><code> DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext(); HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(mInitialUrl); try { client.execute(httpGet, httpContext); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } // Parse out the final uri. HttpHost currentHost = (HttpHost) httpContext.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST); HttpUriRequest req = (HttpUriRequest) httpContext.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_REQUEST); return (req.getURI().isAbsolute()) ? req.getURI().toString() : (currentHost.toURI() + req.getURI()); </code></pre> Now, I could just register market:// as a scheme, but I don't want to hard-code beforehand what the valid schemes are, I just want it to accept them and return them whatever they are. Any ideas? Maybe I'm not even taking the right approach. (Changing the server behavior isn't an option in this case... I've got to just deal with the redirects.) My hope is that someone can tell me how to get the HttpClient to ignore the scheme, or at least preserve the final URI it tries to access.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
