Android malformed URL error trying to implement Azure Mobile Service

Question

I'm trying to implement an Azure Mobile Service in an Android app, using the documentation from inside the Azure portal (Portal > Mobile Service > Android > Connect Existing Android App), and am running into the java malformed URL error when trying to instantiate a MobileServiceClient.

Code that is throwing the error:

mClient = new MobileServiceClient( "https://myurl.azure-mobile.net/", "my_secret_squirrel_key", this );

The compiler is throwing this error:

Unhandled exception:java.net.MalformedURLException

I've added the buildscript and compile declarations in the project/app Gradle files. Using version 2.0.3 of the SDK (tried using 2.0.2 as well).

I've added permissions to the manifest file, too:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

The activity I'm using this in is importing the mobile services library:

import com.microsoft.windowsazure.mobileservices.*;

And I'm declaring a private member in that same activity to hold the MobileServiceClient like so:

private MobileServiceClient mClient;

Using Android Studio 1.3.2.

Trying to use the same implementation as in this tutorial app (line 60) from here (not my code) - github.com/Azure/mobile-services-samples/blob/master/… — Zach B

The URL constructor has a checked MalformedUrlException

You need to either add throws MalformedUrlException to your calling method, or wrap it in a try/catch:

try {     mClient = new MobileServiceClient( "https://myurl.azure-mobile.net/", "my_secret_squirrel_key",         this); } catch(MalformedUrlException ex) {     Log.e("Service URL was malformed!", ex); }
