From what I see of the API response from http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/ getString() should be correct for pulling the url from the individual posts. Perhaps you can share the code you have and give a little more detail by what "doesn't work" means? (Does getString() it throw an exception? Give you a bad/wrong string?)

It worked now sir thank you so much getString() works but my TextView is the same color of my relative layout background.that's why i cannot see the URL. So i change the textColorLink property to something visible. Thank u so much for the guidance.
