try{

HttpsURLConnection hpCon = (HttpsURLConnection)hp.openConnection();

boolean isProxy = hpCon.usingProxy();
System.out.println("is using proxy " + isProxy);
InputStream obj = (InputStream) hpCon.getInputStream();
while(obj.read()!=-1){
System.out.println(obj.read_char());

}
System.out.println("content >> " + obj.toString());
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

try {
URL oracle = new URL("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+Vi ew,+CA&sensor=true");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(oracle.openStream()));
StringBuilder responseBuilder= new StringBuilder();

String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
{
responseBuilder.append(inputLine + '\n');
}
NEWFIELD= inputLine;
generateRow();
in.close();

}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}



I went through some material and was able to develop above code.
with this code i am able to read the last line of Google api xml output.


Can anyone guide me providing suggestion to on to read the entire xml (from http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/...CA&sensor=true) and same it in NEWFIELD??
