public class AndroidQRCodeActivity extends Activity {
 
 final static String urlGoogleChart = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart";
 final static String urlQRApi = "?chs=400x400&cht=qr&chl=";
 final static String urlMySite = "http://android-coding.blogspot.com/";
 
 ImageView QRCode;
 TextView MySite;
 
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main);
       QRCode = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.qrimage);
       MySite = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mysite);
       MySite.setText(urlMySite);
      
       Bitmap bm = loadQRCode();
       if(bm == null){
        Toast.makeText(AndroidQRCodeActivity.this,
          "Problem in loading QR Code1",
          Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       }else{
        QRCode.setImageBitmap(bm);
       }
      
   }
  
   private Bitmap loadQRCode(){
    Bitmap bmQR = null;
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    
    try {
   inputStream = OpenHttpConnection(urlGoogleChart + urlQRApi + urlMySite);
   bmQR = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
   inputStream.close();
  } catch (IOException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
    return bmQR;
   }
  
   private InputStream OpenHttpConnection(String strURL) throws IOException{
    InputStream is = null;
    URL url = new URL(strURL);
    URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
    
    try{

     httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
     httpConn.connect();
     
     if (httpConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
      is = httpConn.getInputStream(); 
     }
     }catch (Exception ex){
     }
    
    return is; 
   }
  
}
