I am using CronetEngine for making a network request as below
val engine: CronetEngine = CronetEngine.Builder(context).enableQuic(false)
.enableBrotli(true)
.enableHttp2(false).build()
val callFactory: Call.Factory = CronetCallFactory.newBuilder(engine).build()
And calling the result as
request = Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.post(formBody.build())
.headers(headers)
.build()
callFactory.newCall(request).enqueue(object : Callback {
override fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
}
override fun onResponse(call: Call, response: Response) {
result = response.body?.string()
mResponseCode = response.code
mResponseHeader = response.headers.toMultimap()
}
})
I am getting the response in compressed format.
Where as I want it in plain text or decompressed format.
Any configuration I am missing here?
I am attempting to make a sync call that needs to complete before proceeding with storing a user in the cloud. I believe the issue is within the RequestBody as it looks like it is just a byte array. Below is the code:
val client = OkHttpClient()
val mediaType: MediaType? = "application/json".toMediaTypeOrNull()
val body: RequestBody =
RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{\"type\":\"DEFAULT\",\"name\":\"lkjlkj\"}")
val request: Request = okhttp3.Request.Builder()
.url("https://api.example.com/endpoint")
.post(body)
.addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
.addHeader(
"Authorization",
"Bearer SK-xxxxxx-4QAXH"
)
.build()
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, "Entering Call",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
val response: Unit = client.newCall(request).execute().use {
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, "sent call, awaiting response",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
if (it.isSuccessful){
val content = JSONObject(it.body.toString())
desiredString = content.getJSONArray("desiredStringField").toString()
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, desiredString,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
if (!it.isSuccessful){
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, "failed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
The code doesn't crash but it seems the call never completes, as it never makes it into the it.isSuccessful or !it.isSuccessful. Perhaps its a bad formed call somehow. Please help if you can.
Try to enqueue the request and manage the response using a Callback:
client.newCall(request).enqueue(object : Callback {
override fun onResponse(call: Call, response: Response) {
if (!response.isSuccessful){
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, "failed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
return
}
try {
val content = JSONObject(response.body?.string() ?: "")
desiredString = content.getJSONArray("desiredStringField").toString()
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, desiredString,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
} catch (e: JSONException) {
// Error parsing JSON object
}
}
override fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
Toast.makeText(this#RegisterActivity, "failed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
I want to stream twitter tweets continuously with twitter stream api with retrofit and without any 3rd party libraries. When i try to call the api " https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/stream " I'm only getting the result first time. How to stream it?
I have finally achieved it using this snippet
override suspend fun streamTweets(): Flow<Resource<TweetResponseModel>> {
return flow {
val client: OkHttpClient = OkHttpClient().newBuilder().addInterceptor(
BasicAuthInterceptor(getAPIKey(), getAPISecretKey())
).build()
val request: Request = Request.Builder()
.url(TWITTER_STREAM_URL)
.method("GET", null)
.build()
val response: okhttp3.Response = client.newCall(request).execute()
val source = response.body?.source()
val buffer = Buffer()
while (!source!!.exhausted()) {
response.body?.source()?.read(buffer, 8192)
val data = buffer.readString(Charset.defaultCharset())
try {
val tweetResponseModel: TweetResponseModel =
Gson().fromJson(data, TweetResponseModel::class.java)
emit(Resource.Success(tweetResponseModel))
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.e("jsonException", data)
}
}
}.flowOn(ioDispatcher)
}
I use this JSON https://api.github.com/users
I need to get string name, followers, following, and more. But on the program says "No value for name". I think I need to go to a specific user example: https://api.github.com/users/mojombo to getting that info, but I don't know-how.
And I using loopj library.
Here's My Code
private fun getDataGitDetail() {
progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
val client = AsyncHttpClient()
client.addHeader("Authorization", "token 6fe9dff2e5e43d25eb3abe9ff508a750b972f725")
client.addHeader("User-Agent", "request")
val url = "https://api.github.com/users"
client.get(url, object : AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
override fun onSuccess(
statusCode: Int,
headers: Array<Header>,
responseBody: ByteArray
) {
progressBar.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
val result = String(responseBody)
Log.d(TAG, result)
try {
val jsonArray = JSONArray(result)
for (i in 0 until jsonArray.length()) {
val jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i)
val username: String? = jsonObject.getString("login")
val name: String? = jsonObject.getString("name")
val avatar: String? = jsonObject.getString("avatar_url")
val company: String? = jsonObject.getString("url")
val location: String? = jsonObject.getString("url")
val repository: Int = 0
val followers: Int = 0
val following: Int = 0
listData.add(
Data(
username,
name,
avatar,
company,
location,
repository,
followers,
following
)
)
}
showRecyclerList()
} catch (e: Exception) {
Toast.makeText(this#MainActivity, e.message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show()
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
override fun onFailure(
statusCode: Int,
headers: Array<Header>,
responseBody: ByteArray,
error: Throwable
) {
progressBar.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
val errorMessage = when (statusCode) {
401 -> "$statusCode : Bad Request"
403 -> "$statusCode : Forbidden"
404 -> "$statusCode : Not Found"
else -> "$statusCode : ${error.message}"
}
Toast.makeText(this#MainActivity, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show()
}
})
}
The current response you are getting does not contain a key name in the JSONObject.
If you want the Name of all the users you will have to go to each users endpoint in the api. You'll need to make another request inside your for loop that gets datafrom an endpoint like https://api.github.com/users/mojombo
val jsonArray = JSONArray(result)
for (i in 0 until jsonArray.length()) {
val jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i)
val username: String? = jsonObject.getString("login")
//Make the request here using "https://api.github.com/users/" + login
You can then choose to get the rest of the data from either the first response or the 2nd one as both contain that information.
I hope this helps.
No need for a JSON array, cz API https://api.github.com/users/mojombo is JSON Object.
Example:
client.get(url, object : AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
override fun onSuccess(statusCode: Int, headers: Array<Header>, responseBody: ByteArray) {
try {
//parsing json
val result = String(responseBody)
val responseObject = JSONObject(result)
textView2.text = responseObject.getString("login")
textView3.text = responseObject.getString("name")
textView9.text = responseObject.getString("location")
desc.text = responseObject.getString("company")
view?.let { Glide.with(it).load(responseObject.getString("avatar_url")).into(imageView2) }
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.d("Exception", e.message.toString())
}
}
}
I want to do a login validation using POST method and to get some information using GET method.
I've URL, server Username and Password already of my previous project.
For Android, Volley is a good place to get started. For all platforms, you might also want to check out ktor client or http4k which are both good libraries.
However, you can also use standard Java libraries like java.net.HttpURLConnection
which is part of the Java SDK:
fun sendGet() {
val url = URL("http://www.google.com/")
with(url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection) {
requestMethod = "GET" // optional default is GET
println("\nSent 'GET' request to URL : $url; Response Code : $responseCode")
inputStream.bufferedReader().use {
it.lines().forEach { line ->
println(line)
}
}
}
}
Or simpler:
URL("https://google.com").readText()
Send HTTP POST/GET request with parameters using HttpURLConnection :
POST with Parameters:
fun sendPostRequest(userName:String, password:String) {
var reqParam = URLEncoder.encode("username", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(userName, "UTF-8")
reqParam += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("password", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(password, "UTF-8")
val mURL = URL("<Your API Link>")
with(mURL.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection) {
// optional default is GET
requestMethod = "POST"
val wr = OutputStreamWriter(getOutputStream());
wr.write(reqParam);
wr.flush();
println("URL : $url")
println("Response Code : $responseCode")
BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(inputStream)).use {
val response = StringBuffer()
var inputLine = it.readLine()
while (inputLine != null) {
response.append(inputLine)
inputLine = it.readLine()
}
println("Response : $response")
}
}
}
GET with Parameters:
fun sendGetRequest(userName:String, password:String) {
var reqParam = URLEncoder.encode("username", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(userName, "UTF-8")
reqParam += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("password", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(password, "UTF-8")
val mURL = URL("<Yout API Link>?"+reqParam)
with(mURL.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection) {
// optional default is GET
requestMethod = "GET"
println("URL : $url")
println("Response Code : $responseCode")
BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(inputStream)).use {
val response = StringBuffer()
var inputLine = it.readLine()
while (inputLine != null) {
response.append(inputLine)
inputLine = it.readLine()
}
it.close()
println("Response : $response")
}
}
}
Using only the standard library with minimal code!
thread {
val json = try {
URL(url).readText()
} catch (e: Exception) {
return#thread
}
runOnUiThread { displayOrWhatever(json) }
}
This starts a GET request on a new thread, leaving the UI thread to respond to user input. However, we can only modify UI elements from the main/UI thread, so we actually need a runOnUiThread block to show the result to our user. This enqueues our display code to be run on the UI thread soon.
The try/catch is there so your app won't crash if you make a request with your phone's internet off. Add your own error handling (e.g. showing a Toast) as you please.
.readText() is not part of the java.net.URL class but a Kotlin extension method, Kotlin "glues" this method onto URL. This is enough for plain GET requests, but for more control and POST requests you need something like the Fuel library.
Have a look at Fuel library, a sample GET request
"https://httpbin.org/get"
.httpGet()
.responseString { request, response, result ->
when (result) {
is Result.Failure -> {
val ex = result.getException()
}
is Result.Success -> {
val data = result.get()
}
}
}
// You can also use Fuel.get("https://httpbin.org/get").responseString { ... }
// You can also use FuelManager.instance.get("...").responseString { ... }
A sample POST request
Fuel.post("https://httpbin.org/post")
.jsonBody("{ \"foo\" : \"bar\" }")
.also { println(it) }
.response { result -> }
Their documentation can be found here
I think using okhttp is the easiest solution. Here you can see an example for POST method, sending a json, and with auth.
val url = "https://example.com/endpoint"
val client = OkHttpClient()
val JSON = MediaType.get("application/json; charset=utf-8")
val body = RequestBody.create(JSON, "{\"data\":\"$data\"}")
val request = Request.Builder()
.addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer $token")
.url(url)
.post(body)
.build()
val response = client . newCall (request).execute()
println(response.request())
println(response.body()!!.string())
Remember to add this dependency to your project https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.squareup.okhttp3/okhttp
UPDATE: July 7th, 2019
I'm gonna give two examples using latest Kotlin (1.3.41), OkHttp (4.0.0) and Jackson (2.9.9).
UPDATE: January 25th, 2021
Everything is okay with the most updated versions.

Get Method
fun get() {
val client = OkHttpClient()
val url = URL("https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2")
val request = Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.get()
.build()
val response = client.newCall(request).execute()
val responseBody = response.body!!.string()
//Response
println("Response Body: " + responseBody)
//we could use jackson if we got a JSON
val mapperAll = ObjectMapper()
val objData = mapperAll.readTree(responseBody)
objData.get("data").forEachIndexed { index, jsonNode ->
println("$index $jsonNode")
}
}
POST Method
fun post() {
val client = OkHttpClient()
val url = URL("https://reqres.in/api/users")
//just a string
var jsonString = "{\"name\": \"Rolando\", \"job\": \"Fakeador\"}"
//or using jackson
val mapperAll = ObjectMapper()
val jacksonObj = mapperAll.createObjectNode()
jacksonObj.put("name", "Rolando")
jacksonObj.put("job", "Fakeador")
val jacksonString = jacksonObj.toString()
val mediaType = "application/json; charset=utf-8".toMediaType()
val body = jacksonString.toRequestBody(mediaType)
val request = Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.post(body)
.build()
val response = client.newCall(request).execute()
val responseBody = response.body!!.string()
//Response
println("Response Body: " + responseBody)
//we could use jackson if we got a JSON
val objData = mapperAll.readTree(responseBody)
println("My name is " + objData.get("name").textValue() + ", and I'm a " + objData.get("job").textValue() + ".")
}
Maybe the simplest GET
For everybody stuck with NetworkOnMainThreadException for the other solutions: use AsyncTask or, even shorter, (yet still experimental) Coroutines:
launch {
val jsonStr = URL("url").readText()
}
If you need to test with plain http don't forget to add to your manifest:
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
For the experimental Coroutines you have to add to build.gradle as of 10/10/2018:
kotlin {
experimental {
coroutines 'enable'
}
}
dependencies {
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:0.24.0"
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:0.24.0"
...
If you are using Kotlin, you might as well keep your code as succinct as possible. The run method turns the receiver into this and returns the value of the block.
this as HttpURLConnection creates a smart cast. bufferedReader().readText() avoids a bunch of boilerplate code.
return URL(url).run {
openConnection().run {
this as HttpURLConnection
inputStream.bufferedReader().readText()
}
}
You can also wrap this into an extension function.
fun URL.getText(): String {
return openConnection().run {
this as HttpURLConnection
inputStream.bufferedReader().readText()
}
}
And call it like this
return URL(url).getText()
Finally, if you are super lazy, you can extend the String class instead.
fun String.getUrlText(): String {
return URL(this).run {
openConnection().run {
this as HttpURLConnection
inputStream.bufferedReader().readText()
}
}
}
And call it like this
return "http://somewhere.com".getUrlText()
You can use kohttp library. It is a Kotlin DSL HTTP client. It supports the features of square.okhttp and provides a clear DSL for them. KoHttp async calls are powered by coroutines.
httpGet extension function
val response: Response = "https://google.com/search?q=iphone".httpGet()
you can also use async call with coroutines
val response: Deferred<Response> = "https://google.com/search?q=iphone".asyncHttpGet()
or DSL function for more complex requests
val response: Response = httpGet {
host = "google.com"
path = "/search"
param {
"q" to "iphone"
"safe" to "off"
}
}
You can find more details in docs
To get it with gradle use
implementation 'io.github.rybalkinsd:kohttp:0.12.0'
Without adding additional dependencies, this works. You don't need Volley for this. This works using the current version of Kotlin as of Dec 2018: Kotlin 1.3.10
If using Android Studio, you'll need to add this declaration in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
You should manually declare imports here. The auto-import tool caused me many conflicts.:
import android.os.AsyncTask
import java.io.BufferedReader
import java.io.InputStreamReader
import java.io.OutputStream
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter
import java.net.URL
import java.net.URLEncoder
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection
You can't perform network requests on a background thread. You must subclass AsyncTask.
To call the method:
NetworkTask().execute(requestURL, queryString)
Declaration:
private class NetworkTask : AsyncTask<String, Int, Long>() {
override fun doInBackground(vararg parts: String): Long? {
val requestURL = parts.first()
val queryString = parts.last()
// Set up request
val connection: HttpsURLConnection = URL(requestURL).openConnection() as HttpsURLConnection
// Default is GET so you must override this for post
connection.requestMethod = "POST"
// To send a post body, output must be true
connection.doOutput = true
// Create the stream
val outputStream: OutputStream = connection.outputStream
// Create a writer container to pass the output over the stream
val outputWriter = OutputStreamWriter(outputStream)
// Add the string to the writer container
outputWriter.write(queryString)
// Send the data
outputWriter.flush()
// Create an input stream to read the response
val inputStream = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(connection.inputStream)).use {
// Container for input stream data
val response = StringBuffer()
var inputLine = it.readLine()
// Add each line to the response container
while (inputLine != null) {
response.append(inputLine)
inputLine = it.readLine()
}
it.close()
// TODO: Add main thread callback to parse response
println(">>>> Response: $response")
}
connection.disconnect()
return 0
}
protected fun onProgressUpdate(vararg progress: Int) {
}
override fun onPostExecute(result: Long?) {
}
}
GET and POST using OkHttp
private const val CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 15L

Object serialization and deserialization
#Throws(JsonProcessingException::class)
fun objectToJson(obj: Any): String {
return ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(obj)
}
#Throws(IOException::class)
fun jsonToAgentObject(json: String?): MyObject? {
return if (json == null) { null } else {
ObjectMapper().readValue<MyObject>(json, MyObject::class.java)
}
}
Dependencies
Put the following lines in your gradle (app) file. Jackson is optional. You can use it for object serialization and deserialization.
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.3.1'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.9.8'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.9.8'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.9.8'
You can use this library Fuel Library as well, which makes it further easier.
