Improve energy efficiency by applying Reduce Size Energy Pattern #21

This improves the energy efficiency of TourCount by applying the Reduce Size Energy Pattern for mobile applications. The energy pattern was applied in RetrieveAddr.java. The general idea is when receiving data from an URLConnection or subclasses, if possible, receive the data compressed by GZIP scheme. In this specific case, when receiving data from the urlConnection variable, request for the data to be compressed.

Hello, Thank you for your proposal which could make sense when using other web sites. I checked your proposed functionality, but it has no effect. Your request is not applicable here, as Nominatim does not use any encoding in their responses (see attachment). So it would only unnecessarily enlarge the source code without any effect and therefore would even be contraproductive.

Encoding is not used Best regards wistein
