    Can you add a call to the printStackTrace() method in the catch block for more info?

    I'm reading more about the no protocol error and it seems to be something with my URL. Thank you for your reply

    Is this the same as what is being executed?
     URL url = new URL("aapl");
    That URL does not have a valid protocol.
    MalformedURLException: no protocol: aapl
    You said: The URL I am using is ...
    and posted what looks like a valid URL.
    Please explain.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: MalformedURLException error yet code still works

    To use "aapl" as an example, the URL I am passing into my method (which I should have included in the original post, my apologies) is:

    public static String getURL(String ticker) {
 
 
URL url = new URL("http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20(%22" + ticker + "%22)&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys")

    where ticker (the String being passed in) is aapl so the complete URL being passed as a parameter would be:

    URL url = new URL("http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20(%22aapl%22)&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys")

    I can see the confusion. I named the parameter and the String both as ticker, but they are not the same. I have since changed the name of the parameter to something else.

    What happens when you use that code instead what I posted in post#4?

    The error message says something like the code in post#4 was used. Not the URL you are showing in post#5

    Default Re: MalformedURLException error yet code still works

    Argh, I see what you mean now. I edited it and used the code in post #4:

    URL url = new URL("http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20(%22" + yApi+ "%22)&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys")

    and changed the parameter name to "yApi" avoid confusion. Now when I call the method using getStock(ticker) , I no longer get the error message. And it works! Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it. I don't know why I was trying to pass that entire URL as a parameter when I could just assign it to URL url ... and pass only the actual ticker as a parameter (aapl for ex.).

    edit: I actually had to revert back to 'ticker' as the parameter name but still works
