  Yeah, I've looked at that approach. For the moment it's a little too
much 'over my head'/cumbersome. I'm reasonable sure that I can get it
set up, but it will be a lot of study/work. That's why I asked here. If
nothing else comes up, I'll have to do it this/the_hard way.

  I also tried to extract strings ('strings -a' in UNIX) from the
'executable' (called 'APK' in Android) in the hope to find some parts of
the URL in there, but that came up empty.
