URL         url   = new URL( xmlPath );
InputSource input = new InputSource( url.openStream() );

all the time, res

• setup a proxy server on my emulator : Emulator > settings > wireless and network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Name > "the access point you have ;)". Here you can set all the proxy port url and login/pass you want.

AND

• Call my network operation in a separate thread. The easy way was to implement an AsynchTask.
