    //Create a layout with objects vertically centered. 
    lay = app.CreateLayout( "linear", "VCenter,FillXY" ); 
 
    //Create a button to send request. 
    btn = app.CreateButton( "Get message", 0.3, 0.1 );
    btn.SetOnTouch( btn_OnTouch );  
    lay.AddChild( btn );  
    //Add layout to app.     
    app.AddLayout( lay ); 
 
}    
 
//Handle button press. 
function btn_OnTouch()  
{  
  //Send request to remote server. 
  var url = "http://droidscript.sgarman.net/message.txt" 
  SendRequest( url  ); 
} 
 
//Send an http get request. 
function SendRequest( url ) 
{ 
    var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
    httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function() { HandleReply(httpRequest); };   
    httpRequest.open("GET", url, true); 
    httpRequest.send(null);

            message = httpRequest.responseText;
            app.Alert( message );
        }
