Android Update TextView(News feed) from Server

I am trying to develop as part of my app a sort of news feed for the user. When the user opens the app there will be a box at the top of the app which includes a greeting and information about the user or other information. This information would be pulled from a server. I th开发者_运维技巧ink I just answered my own question. Would an HTTP Get be the best way to go about this? So it sends a request then updates the textview or whatever according to the information it recieves from the server?

Use an HttpClient to get data from the network, but make sure you do this inside of an AsyncTask so your application doesn't stop responding.
