I'm calling a restful api on my android project and I used Volley and JsonObjectRequest, I thought that the third parameter of the JsonObjectRequest which is jsonRequest are the api parameters so I created a json object for that which in the end I only got errors. So is it common to directly add the api parameters on the url? instead of passing it on a json object? what is the third parameter for, it would be really helpful if someone can give me an example. And my last question is how do you get the entire json response instead of using response.getString("title") for each key.
//api parameters directly added on the url
String URL = "https://www.myapi.com/?param=sample¶m1=sample1";
JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, null,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
try {
String title = response.getString("Title");
Log.d("title", title);
} catch(Exception e){
Log.e("response error", e.toString());
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e(TAG, error.toString());
}
});
Below your Response.ErrorListener() you need to add these two overrides:
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e(TAG, error.toString());
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("param", "sample");
params.put("param1", "sample1);
return params;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Accept", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
return headers;
}
};
Hi friends i am developing an App for Student Database Management System.
Below is code to make request to server for each user service request and server sends response as in Json fromat.
LoginActivity.java
onCreate(){
requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
//making service method call here
JSONObject json = makeRequest(url,loginJson);
//printing response given by makeRequest() method
Log.e("std","-----------------Inside onCreate()----------------------" );
Log.e("std"," requested json "+json );
}
//////
public JSONObject makeRequest(String url, JSONObject jsonObject){
JSONObject myjson;
JsonObjectRequest myReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, jsonObject, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.e("std","-----------------Inside onResponse()----------------------" );
Log.e("std","response \n"+response);
myJson = new JSONObject(String.valueOf(response))
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
//This code is executed if there is an error.
error.printStackTrace();
Log.e("error"," onErrorResponse "+error);
Toast.makeText(context,"Server Error...",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}){
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
return headers;
}
};
requestQueue.add(myReq);
return myJson;
}
inside onResponse listener i am getting my response as shown in bellow.
But makeRequest method returns me null JSON.
LogCat
com.example.stddbsystem E/std:-----------------Inside onResponse()----------------------
com.example.stddbsystem E/std:{"responseCode": 200,"responseMessage": "Login Success","userId": 1}
com.example.stddbsystem E/std:-----------------Inside onCreate()----------------------
com.example.stddbsystem E/std:requested json : null
Try this:
Change to:
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
myJson =response;
}
Instead of:
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
myJson = new JSONObject(String.valueOf(response))
}
I'm trying to send a Post request with volley without success.
The lib is working correctly, and I manage to sent some string requests, but the Post with a JsonObject doesn't work.
String urlJsonReq = "https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore";
String tag_json_obj = "tag_json";
JsonObjectRequest jsonReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST,
urlJsonReq,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.d("MyApp", response.toString());
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
VolleyLog.d("MyApp", "Error: " + error.getMessage());
// hide the progress dialog
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("value1", "testValue1");
params.put("value2", "testValue2");
return params;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("X-Parse-REST-API-Key", "xxxxxxxxxxxx");
headers.put("X-Parse-Application-Id", "xxxxxxxxxxx");
return headers;
}
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/json";
}
};
I keep getting an error. I read somewhere, but without any details that the volley cannot sent JsonObjects, only receive then. That if you want to solve that problem you should implement an custom class, but I really don't know if I'm just making an stupid mistake here (it is possible).
Do you guys know something about that?
Thank you for your time.
You can send the JSONObject without overiding the getParams or getBodyContentType. Something like this for example
JSONObject object = new JSONObject();
JsonObjectRequest jr = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, object, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
}
});
Obviously you can Override the headers if you need to.
I am trying to send POST parameters in a Volley JsonObjectRequest. Initially, it was working for me by following what the official code says to do of passing a JSONObject containing the parameters in the constructor of the JsonObjectRequest. Then all of a sudden it stopped working and I haven't made any changes to the code that was previously working. The server no longer recognizes that any POST parameters are being sent. Here is my code:
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url ="http://myserveraddress";
// POST parameters
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("tag", "test");
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(params);
// Request a json response from the provided URL
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjRequest = new JsonObjectRequest
(Request.Method.POST, url, jsonObj, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), response.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
// Add the request to the RequestQueue.
queue.add(jsonObjRequest);
Here is the simple tester PHP code on the server:
$response = array("tag" => $_POST["tag"]);
echo json_encode($response);
The response I get is {"tag":null}
Yesterday, it worked fine and was responding with {"tag":"test"}
I haven't changed a single thing, but today it is no longer working.
In the Volley source code constructor javadoc it says that you can pass a JSONObject in the constructor to send post parameters at "#param jsonRequest":
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley/+/master/src/main/java/com/android/volley/toolbox/JsonObjectRequest.java
/**
* Creates a new request.
* #param method the HTTP method to use
* #param url URL to fetch the JSON from
* #param jsonRequest A {#link JSONObject} to post with the request. Null is allowed and
* indicates no parameters will be posted along with request.
I have read other posts with similar questions, but the solutions haven't worked for me:
Volley JsonObjectRequest Post request not working
Volley Post JsonObjectRequest ignoring parameters while using getHeader and getParams
Volley not sending a post request with parameters.
I've tried setting the JSONObject in the JsonObjectRequest constructor to null, then overriding and setting the parameters in the "getParams()", "getBody()", and "getPostParams()" methods, but none of those overrides has worked for me. Another suggestion was to use an additional helper class that basically creates a custom request, but that fix is a bit too complex for my needs. If it comes down to it I will do anything to make it work, but I am hoping that there is a simple reason as to why my code was working, and then just stopped, and also a simple solution.
You just have to make a JSONObject from your HashMap of parameters:
String url = "https://www.youraddress.com/";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap();
params.put("first_param", 1);
params.put("second_param", 2);
JSONObject parameters = new JSONObject(params);
JsonObjectRequest jsonRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, parameters, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
//TODO: handle success
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
error.printStackTrace();
//TODO: handle failure
}
});
Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(jsonRequest);
I ended up using Volley's StringRequest instead, because I was using too much valuable time trying to make JsonObjectRequest work.
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url ="http://myserveraddress";
StringRequest strRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), response, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
})
{
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("tag", "test");
return params;
}
};
queue.add(strRequest);
This worked for me. Its just as simple as JsonObjectRequest, but uses a String instead.
I had a similar problem, but I found out that the problem was not on the client side, but in the server side. When you send a JsonObject, you need to get the POST object like this (in the server side):
In PHP:
$json = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
You can use StringRequest to do the same things you can wtih JsonObjectRequest, while still beeing able to easily send POST parameters. The only thing you have to do is to create a JsonObject out of the request String you get, and from there you can continue as if it were JsonObjectRequest.
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
try {
//Creating JsonObject from response String
JSONObject jsonObject= new JSONObject(response.toString());
//extracting json array from response string
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("arrname");
JSONObject jsonRow = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
//get value from jsonRow
String resultStr = jsonRow.getString("result");
} catch (JSONException e) {
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
}
}){
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String,String> parameters = new HashMap<String,String>();
parameters.put("parameter",param);
return parameters;
}
};
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);
Use CustomJsonObjectRequest helper class mentioned here.
and implement like this -
CustomJsonObjectRequest request = new CustomJsonObjectRequest(Method.POST, URL, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), response.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Error.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("id", id);
params.put("password", password);
return params;
}
};
VolleySingleton.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(request);
Using the JSONObject object to send parameters means the parameters will be in JSON format in the HTTP POST request body :
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("tag", "test");
params.put("tag2", "test2");
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(params);
Will create this JSON object and insert it into the body of the HTTP POST request:
{"tag":"test","tag2":"test2"}
Then the server must decode the JSON to understand these POST parameters.
But normally HTTP POST paramaters are write in the body like:
tag=test&tag2=test2
But NOW here the question is why Volley is set in this manner?
A server reading a HTTP POST method should by standard always try to read parameters also in JSON (other than in plain text) and so a server that does not accomplish is a bad server?
Or instead a HTTP POST body with parameters in JSON is not what normally a server want?
Might help someone and save you some time thinking.
I had a similar issue, the server code was looking for the Content-Type header. It was doing it this way:
if($request->headers->content_type == 'application/json' ){ //Parse JSON... }
But Volley was sending the header like this:
'application/json; charset?utf-8'
Changing the server code to this did the trick:
if( strpos($request->headers->content_type, 'application/json') ){ //Parse JSON...
I had similar problem. But I found out that the problem was not on the server side, but the problem is about cache. You have to clear your RequestQueue Cache.
RequestQueue requestQueue1 = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
requestQueue1.getCache().clear();
You can do it this way:
CustomRequest request = new CustomRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
// Toast.makeText(SignActivity.this, response.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("response",""+response.toString());
String status = response.optString("StatusMessage");
String actionstatus = response.optString("ActionStatus");
Toast.makeText(SignActivity.this, ""+status, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if(actionstatus.equals("Success"))
{
Intent i = new Intent(SignActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
dismissProgress();
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(SignActivity.this, "Error."+error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("response",""+error.toString());
dismissProgress();
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";
}
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Email", emailval);
params.put("PassWord", passwordval);
params.put("FirstName", firstnameval);
params.put("LastName", lastnameval);
params.put("Phone", phoneval);
return params;
}
};
AppSingleton.getInstance(SignActivity.this.getApplicationContext()).addToRequestQueue(request, REQUEST_TAG);
as per CustomRequest below link
Volley JsonObjectRequest Post request not working
It does work.
I parsed json object response using this:-
works like a charm.
String tag_string_req = "string_req";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("user_id","CMD0005");
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(params);
String url="" //your link
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST,
url, jsonObj, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.d("responce", response.toString());
try {
// Parsing json object response
// response will be a json object
String userbalance = response.getString("userbalance");
Log.d("userbalance",userbalance);
String walletbalance = response.getString("walletbalance");
Log.d("walletbalance",walletbalance);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Error: " + e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
error.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
AppControllerVolley.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonObjReq, tag_string_req);
It worked for me can try this for calling with Volley for Json type request and response .
public void callLogin(String sMethodToCall, String sUserId, String sPass) {

JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(
Request.Method.POST, ConstantValues.ROOT_URL_LOCAL + sMethodToCall.toString().trim(), addJsonParams(sUserId, sPass),

Hope am not too late to the party:
The issue is from the server side. If you are using PHP add the following lines at the top of your php api file (after includes)
$inputJSON = file_get_contents('php://input');
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$param = stripslashes($inputJSON);
}
else
{
$param = $inputJSON;
}
$input = json_decode($param, TRUE);
Then to retrieve your values
$tag= $input['tag'];
Use GET in place of POST for using JsonObjectRequest
VolleySingleton.getInstance()
.add(new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, urlToTest, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
// do stuff...
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// exception
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";
}
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
return ServerApi.getRequiredParamsRequest(context);
}
}
);
...Initially, it was working for me
....Then all of a sudden it stopped working and I haven't made any changes to
the code
if you haven't made any changes to a previously working code then I suggest checking other parameters such as URL , as the IP address may change if you are using your own Computer as a server!
I'm trying to use Volley library to communicate with my RESTful API.
I have to POST string in the body, when I'm asking for the bearer Token. String should look like this:
grant_type=password&username=Alice&password=password123
And header:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
More info about WebApi Individual Accounts:
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/security/individual-accounts-in-web-api
Unfortunately I can't figure out how can I solve it..
I'm trying something like this:
StringRequest req = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
VolleyLog.v("Response:%n %s", response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
VolleyLog.e("Error: ", error.getMessage());
}
}){
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("grant_type", "password");
params.put("username", "User0");
params.put("password", "Password0");
return params;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
return headers;
}
};
I'm getting 400 Bad Request all the time.
I think that I'm actually sending request like this:
grant_type:password, username:User0, password:Password0
instead of:
grant_type=password&username=Alice&password=password123
I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas or an advice..
To send a normal POST request (no JSON) with parameters like username and password, you'd usually override getParams() and pass a Map of parameters:
public void HttpPOSTRequestWithParameters() {
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url = "http://www.somewebsite.com/login.asp";
StringRequest postRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.d("Response", response);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("ERROR","error => "+error.toString());
}
}
) {
// this is the relevant method
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("grant_type", "password");
// volley will escape this for you
params.put("randomFieldFilledWithAwkwardCharacters", "{{%stuffToBe Escaped/");
params.put("username", "Alice");
params.put("password", "password123");
return params;
}
};
queue.add(postRequest);
}
And to send an arbitary string as POST body data in a Volley StringRequest, you override getBody()
public void HttpPOSTRequestWithArbitaryStringBody() {
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url = "http://www.somewebsite.com/login.asp";
StringRequest postRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.d("Response", response);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("ERROR","error => "+error.toString());
}
}
) {
// this is the relevant method
#Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError {
String httpPostBody="grant_type=password&username=Alice&password=password123";
// usually you'd have a field with some values you'd want to escape, you need to do it yourself if overriding getBody. here's how you do it
try {
httpPostBody=httpPostBody+"&randomFieldFilledWithAwkwardCharacters="+URLEncoder.encode("{{%stuffToBe Escaped/","UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException exception) {
Log.e("ERROR", "exception", exception);
// return null and don't pass any POST string if you encounter encoding error
return null;
}
return httpPostBody.getBytes();
}
};
queue.add(postRequest);
}
As an aside, Volley documentation is non-existent and quality of StackOverflow answers is pretty bad. Can't believe an answer with an example like this wasn't here already.
First thing, I advise you to see exactly what you're sending by either printing to the log or using a network sniffer like wireshark or fiddler.
How about trying to put the params in the body? If you still want a StringRequest you'll need to extend it and override the getBody() method (similarly to JsonObjectRequest)
I know this is old, but I ran into this same problem and there is a much cleaner solution imo found here: How to send a POST request using volley with string body?
