Getting Website Information

Hi there everyone, I am currently busy with the build a Blog Reader Android App with Ben. I am at the stage where he gets the JSON data from the site.

The problem that I have is that when I try to read another webpage , such as http://www1.up.ac.za/timetables/eng_timetable.html , that the reader stops reading and that there is no more data being saved in the array.

So basically is there a way to read long webpages and does the .read() method have a size limit? If so how do I overcome this limit.

Thanks in advance
