How to add cookie to url using HttpUrlConnection class in android?

I'm trying to parse the json data from an url, when i try to create connection , it throws the exception as
java.net.ProtocolException: cannot write request body after response has been read
I got the response message as Not found.
and i checked the url in web browser it shows the Json data when i login wuth my credentials.
so, i found that i need to add the cookie to my connection, but i don't know how to do this.
public void parseData(String cookie){
HttpUrlConnection connection;
try{
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie);
Log.e(TAG, "cookie " + cookie);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
connection.connect();
Log.e(TAG,connection.getResponseMessage());
/**
here i'm trying to parse the data
using BufferedReader calss
**/
}
catch(IOException e){}
}
i need to add the cookie in connection.
Please help me on this.

According to this link
you can do this:
Values must be set prior to calling the connect method:
URL myUrl = new URL("http://www.hccp.org/cookieTest.jsp");
URLConnection urlConn = myUrl.openConnection();
Create a cookie string:
String myCookie = "userId=igbrown";
Add the cookie to a request: Using the
setRequestProperty(String name, String value); method, we will add a
property named "Cookie", passing the cookie string created in the
previous step as the property value.
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", myCookie);
Send the cookie to the server: To send the cookie, simply call connect() on the URLConnection
for which we have added the cookie property:
urlConn.connect()

Android, not connecting to local php file

I'm trying to have my android app execute code where it opens a URL connection to a local php file that returns database entries in JSON format, but it's not connecting, after commenting out the other lines I can see that it throws an exception at the lines:
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
Heres the screen shot of android code and the error log, the returned expected json file in windows and the php file:

Can you change your
URL url = new URL(getListUrl);
into
URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
and check the incoming data.
and the following is a working example.
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
if (!(urlConn instanceof HttpURLConnection)) {
throw new IOException("URL Exception");
}
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) urlConn;
httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
httpConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConn.connect();
resCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
if (resCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
in = httpConn.getInputStream();
}
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
My argument is if this code works for remote urls, it should work with localhost as well.

Hi it must be that you are using wrong local ip address in android files
it should be 10.0.2.2 not 127.0.0.1
First tell me are you testing on emulator or device
if emulator then where you define file path it should be
http://10.0.2.2/request_entries.php
just like in code
httpclient=new DefaultHttpClient();
httppost= new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2/request_entries.php");

Managed to get the input stream using the URL:
URL url = new URL("http://10.0.2.2/request_entries.php");
result
Thanks a bunch guys :)

Deleting file from Parse.com usung REST API in Android

Why can't I delete a file from parse.com? Here is my method.
URL url = new URL("https://api.parse.com/1/files/"+ parseFileName);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty ("X-Parse-Master-Key", Sett.PARSE_MASTER_KEY);
conn.setRequestProperty ("X-Parse-Application-Id", Sett.PARSE_APP_ID);
conn.setRequestProperty ("X-Parse-REST-API-Key", Sett.PARSE_REST_KEY);
conn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/json");
conn.setRequestMethod("DELETE");
String responseStr = conn.getResponseMessage();
String responseCode = String.valueOf(conn.getResponseCode());
Result = 200 OK, but the file is still available for download. Also, I tried to send a request through the control panel from Parse.com. Result was null
This is a link to file I triying to delete http://files.parsetfss.com/5592cbfd-6fd4-41ca-8a82-dd90ebcd6541/tfss-410de5c1-bbac-4772-8be5-45b4f55d47fd-1450985755273

Android HttpUrlConnection does POST instead of GET

I've got an Android app that's trying to do a GET request to my server using HttpUrlConnection. When I test the code in a separate testing desktop application, everything works fine. However, when I run it on my android device, my server registers a POST request instead of a GET.
Here's the code for my get method:
public static String get(String url) throws IOException {
HttpURLConnection conn = connFromUrlString(url);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.connect();
String out = IOUtils.toString(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8");
conn.disconnect();
return out;
}

This line is the culprit.
conn.setDoOutput(true);
Remove that and give it a try.
By the way, you should read this excellent piece: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2793153/415412

problems with adding ;jsessionid in HttpURLconnection in android for GET request

In my android Application in the first screen user authenticates and servlet replies with a session id ...
in the second screen the user again calls the servlet with the session id added in the url as ;jsession="sessionid" along with the parameters...
but the servlet is not get the session id and is responding as a new session without authentication...
where is the problem?
i am using this code for the connection
URL u = new URL(aurl[0]);
url=aurl[0];
publishProgress(""+20,"Connecting...");
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
publishProgress(""+40,"Connecting...");
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
publishProgress(""+45,"Connecting...");
publishProgress(""+40,aurl[0]);
int lenghtOfFile = c.getContentLength();
System.out.println(lenghtOfFile+"lenghtOfFile");
is = c.getInputStream();

I was facing the same problem and found a simple solution.
// First set the default cookie manager.
CookieHandler.setDefault(new CookieManager(null, CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL));
// All the following subsequent URLConnections will use the same cookie manager.
URLConnection connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
// ...
connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
// ...
connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
// ...
This is the simplest solution I found. We need to set default CookieManager.
Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests is the great blog.
Thanks

adding jseesioid in the url never worked ..
the code worked using this solution
httpsessionmanagement
especially these two...
// Gather all cookies on the first request.
URLConnection connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
List<String> cookies = connection.getHeaderFields().get("Set-Cookie");
// ...
// Then use the same cookies on all subsequent requests.
connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
for (String cookie : cookies) {
connection.addRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie.split(";", 2)[0]);
}
// ...
