I'm trying to port this functionality  to android and I couldn't find anything on the forums or by searching, other than that contributed library processing.net hadn't been ported yet?

Basically I would like to get a string of xml returned from a twitter search so that I can do stuff with it (e.g count the number of tweets within 1 mile of the phone - using the phones gps or what ever).

I started writing a post requesting help but found this  which slightly modified works as a class in Processing Android mode, see the following (written with a lot of help from MarkSelby) - it prints html in my phones screen. Thought the code might be useful to others.

Oh and don't forget to turn INTERNET permission on.

In first Tab:

2. // Android fonts
3. String[] fontList;
4. PFont androidFont;
5. 
   
6. Aclient html;
7. 
   
8. void setup() {
9.   html = new Aclient();
10.   size(480, 640, A2D);
11. 
    
12.   orientation(PORTRAIT);
13. 
    
14.   fontList = PFont.list();
15.   androidFont = createFont(fontList[0], 12, true);
16.   textFont(androidFont);
17. }
18. 
    
19. void draw() {
20.   try{
21.     String data = html.executeHttpGet();
22.     text(data);
23.     }
24.     catch (java.lang.Exception JLE) {
25.       println("JLE: "+JLE);
26.       exit();
27.     }
28.    noLoop();
29.   }
