How to use POST request in android Volley library with params and header?

I am trying to learn Volley library for posting data into webservices. I need to implement user registration form, following is the image of postman with parameters and header...
now problem is, i am getting below error
com.android.volley.ServerError
this is my code for volley post method.
public void postNewComment(){
try {
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String URL = "http://myurl/api/users";
JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
jsonBody.put("email", "test1#gmail.com");
jsonBody.put("user_type", "C");
jsonBody.put("company_id", "0");
jsonBody.put("status", "A");
jsonBody.put("password", "123456");
final String requestBody = jsonBody.toString();
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.i("VOLLEY", response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
error.printStackTrace();
Log.e("VOLLEY", error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/json; charset=utf-8";
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
final Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put("Authorization", "Basic " + "My_auth_key");
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
return headers;
}
#Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
String responseString = "";
if (response != null) {
responseString = String.valueOf(response.statusCode);
// can get more details such as response.headers
}
return Response.success(responseString, HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
}
};
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
please suggest where am i getting wrong. URL is working correct with postman, also as you can see i need to set 2 headers. I also tried this Url post method with AsyncTask and its working good. Now i need to implement this using volley library. kindly suggest. thank you.
this is my logcat error:
E/Volley: [81910] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 405 for "Myurl"

**Try this one **
private void sendWorkPostRequest() {
try {
String URL = "";
JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
jsonBody.put("email", "abc#abc.com");
jsonBody.put("password", "");
jsonBody.put("user_type", "");
jsonBody.put("company_id", "");
jsonBody.put("status", "");
JsonObjectRequest jsonOblect = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, jsonBody, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Response: " + response.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
onBackPressed();
}
}) {
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
final Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put("Authorization", "Basic " + "c2FnYXJAa2FydHBheS5jb206cnMwM2UxQUp5RnQzNkQ5NDBxbjNmUDgzNVE3STAyNzI=");//put your token here
return headers;
}
};
VolleyApplication.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonOblect);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "done", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

I have an alternative answer that works pretty well for Android Volley+ library by dworks and Google: See HERE

Android Send POST of JSON raw body with volley

I have to send a post with voley but when i try to send raw body as requested, instead of a response a get this error
******com.android.volley.ServerError******: {"message":"No user account data for registration received."}
i tried the same in postman and it works perfect, how can i fix it in my code?
raw body that works in postman ->
{
"camp1": {
"value": "value"
},
"camp2": {
"value": "value2"
}
}
this is what it is in my code ->
public void requestRegistrationInfo(#NonNull final String camp1, #NonNull final String camp2,final Listener listener) {
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
requestQueue.add(new JsonObjectRequest(
Request.Method.POST, URL,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.v("IT WORK");
listener.onSuccess();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("******" + error.toString() + "******", getErrorMessage(error));
listener.onFailure();
}
})
{
#Override
protected Map<String,String> getParams() {
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("{camp1", "value");
map.put("camp2", "value");
return map;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("header1", "header1");
map.put("header2", "header2");
return map;
}
});
}
what can i do to send raw json correctly and don't show the error?

In normal case JSONObject request didn't hit the getParams() method , this method only for String request and passing key value pair data payload. If you want to pass a raw body with JSON data , first you have to format your data as server accepted.
In your case this is your data
{
"camp1":{
"value":"value1"
},
"camp2":{
"value2":"value2"
}
}
You have to convert your data to Server accepted JSON format like this
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("value", "value1");
JSONObject jsonObject1 = new JSONObject();
jsonObject1.put("value2", "value2");
JSONObject jsonObject2 = new JSONObject();
jsonObject2.put("camp1", jsonObject);
jsonObject2.put("camp2",jsonObject1);
//jsonObject2 is the payload to server here you can use JsonObjectRequest
String url="your custom url";
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest
(Request.Method.POST,url, jsonObject2, new com.android.volley.Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
try {
//TODO: Handle your response here
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.print(response);
}
}, new com.android.volley.Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// TODO: Handle error
error.printStackTrace();
}
});
JsonObjectRequest will accept the payload as json in its constructor after the url parameter we will pass the data

This is tested Code try this:
private void multipartRequestWithVolly() {
String urll = "your_url";
progressDialog.show();
StringRequest request = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, urll, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(response)) {
Log.e(TAG, "onResponse: " + response);
textView.setText(response);
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Response is null");
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
Log.e(TAG, "onErrorResponse: " + error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
hashMap = new HashMap<>();
hashMap.put("OPERATIONNAME", "bplan");
hashMap.put("mcode", "298225816992");
hashMap.put("deviceid", "dfb462ac78317846");
hashMap.put("loginip", "192.168.1.101");
hashMap.put("operatorid", "AT");
hashMap.put("circleid", "19");
return hashMap;
}
};
AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(request);
}

try {
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String URL = "http://...";
JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
jsonBody.put("Title", "Android Volley Demo");
jsonBody.put("Author", "BNK");
final String requestBody = jsonBody.toString();
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.i("VOLLEY", response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("VOLLEY", error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/json; charset=utf-8";
}
#Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError {
try {
return requestBody == null ? null : encodeParameters(requestBody , getParamsEncoding());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
VolleyLog.wtf("Unsupported Encoding while trying to get the bytes of %s using %s", requestBody, "utf-8");
return null;
}
}
#Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
String responseString = "";
if (response != null) {
responseString = String.valueOf(response.statusCode);
// can get more details such as response.headers
}
return Response.success(responseString, HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
}
};
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Please check with the edited getBody()
#Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError {
try {
return requestBody == null ? null : encodeParameters(requestBody , getParamsEncoding());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
VolleyLog.wtf("Unsupported Encoding while trying to get the bytes of %s using %s", requestBody, "utf-8");
return null;
}
}

If you calling any REST-API then note that that's payload always be in JSON format. therefor you can use an object body for payload like this way.
HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("username", input_loginId.getText().toString());
params.put("password", input_password.getText().toString());
and you can pass this on method like this way
JsonObjectRequest logInAPIRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, YOUR-URL,
new JSONObject(params), new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
input_errorText.setText(response.toString());
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
input_errorText.setText("Error: " + error.getMessage());
}
});

Android Volley code 400

I'm trying to post data to website. It is login operation. I check form data hidden tag etc. In form data there is a hidden input _RequestVerificationToken. That's why first, I made get request to parse _RequestVerificationToken and for headers.
StringRequest _StringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//Parsing Process
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
error.printStackTrace();
}
}
)
{
#Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
headers=response.headers;
return super.parseNetworkResponse(response);
}
};
After all i made post request with parameters and headers:
#Override
public Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
// the POST parameters:
params.put("Password", password);
params.put("RememberMe", "false");
params.put("ReturnUrl", url_post);
params.put("UserName",username);
params.put(name,_RequestVerificationToken);
return params;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
return headers;
}
I check form data by using fiddler extension in chrome. I checked parameters again and again but it returned code 400. Can you show me what is the problem?

Change Request.Method.GET to Request.Method.POST
StringRequest _StringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//Parsing Process
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
error.printStackTrace();
}
}
)
{
#Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
headers=response.headers;
return super.parseNetworkResponse(response);
}
};
Or You can use this code:-
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
returnValue = response;
try {
parseFromUrl(response);
System.out.println(returnValue);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(app,error.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Password", password);
params.put("RememberMe", "false");
params.put("ReturnUrl", url_post);
params.put("UserName",username);
params.put(name,_RequestVerificationToken);
return params;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(app);
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);

I solve the problem with this class and I added this:
CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager(new PersistentCookieStore(this), CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ORIGINAL_SERVER);
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);
before add request to queue

How to send a POST request using volley with string body?

I'm developing an Android app that communicate with a RESTful web service I wrote. Using Volley for GET methods is awesome and easy, but I can't put my finger on the POST methods.
I want to send a POST request with a String in the body of the request, and retrieve the raw response of the web service (like 200 ok, 500 server error).
All I could find is the StringRequest which doesn't allow to send with data (body), and also it bounds me to receive a parsed String response.
I also came across JsonObjectRequest which accepts data (body) but retrieve a parsed JSONObject response.
I decided to write my own implementation, but I cannot find a way to receive the raw response from the web service. How can I do it?

You can refer to the following code (of course you can customize to get more details of the network response):
try {
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String URL = "http://...";
JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
jsonBody.put("Title", "Android Volley Demo");
jsonBody.put("Author", "BNK");
final String requestBody = jsonBody.toString();
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.i("VOLLEY", response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("VOLLEY", error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/json; charset=utf-8";
}
#Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError {
try {
return requestBody == null ? null : requestBody.getBytes("utf-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
VolleyLog.wtf("Unsupported Encoding while trying to get the bytes of %s using %s", requestBody, "utf-8");
return null;
}
}
#Override
protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
String responseString = "";
if (response != null) {
responseString = String.valueOf(response.statusCode);
// can get more details such as response.headers
}
return Response.success(responseString, HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
}
};
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

I liked this one, but it is sending JSON not string as requested in the question, reposting the code here, in case the original github got removed or changed, and this one found to be useful by someone.
public static void postNewComment(Context context,final UserAccount userAccount,final String comment,final int blogId,final int postId){
mPostCommentResponse.requestStarted();
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
StringRequest sr = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST,"http://api.someservice.com/post/comment", new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
mPostCommentResponse.requestCompleted();
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override

mPostCommentResponse.requestEndedWithError(error);
}
}){

Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
return params;
}
};
queue.add(sr);
}

I created a function for a Volley Request. You just need to pass the arguments :
public void callvolly(final String username, final String password){
RequestQueue MyRequestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url = "http://your_url.com/abc.php"; // <----enter your post url here
StringRequest MyStringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//This code is executed if the server responds, whether or not the response contains data.
//The String 'response' contains the server's response.
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() { //Create an error listener to handle errors appropriately.
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
//This code is executed if there is an error.
}
}) {
protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
Map<String, String> MyData = new HashMap<String, String>();
MyData.put("username", username);
MyData.put("password", password);
return MyData;
}
};
MyRequestQueue.add(MyStringRequest);
}

error sending data to server using volley library

I have not used volley library much. i have read the tutorials. i want to send data to a url which which will enter that data in database. i have tried the following code but its not working. data is not entered in the database.
String url = "http://tipseducation.com/system/eadmin/insertschedule/";
StringRequest sr = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
//Valid Response
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
//error message
}
}) {
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("appt_name", ed_name);
params.put("appt_email", ed_email);
params.put("appt_contact", ed_contact);
params.put("appt_date", ed_date);
params.put("appt_time", ed_time);
params.put("appt_service", ed_spinner);
return params;
}
};
can anyone please help me. iam new to this

Instead of getHeaders, you should use getBody for your POST request.
You can refer to my following working sample code (replace my JSONObject and Url by yours). Hope this helps!
...
try {
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
jsonBody = new JSONObject();
jsonBody.put("Title", "Android Volley POST DATA Demo");
jsonBody.put("Author", "BNK");
jsonBody.put("Date", "2015/09/17");
requestBody = jsonBody.toString();
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(1, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
// do something...
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// do something...
}
}) {
#Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/json; charset=utf-8";
}
#Override
public byte[] getBody() throws AuthFailureError {
try {
return requestBody == null ? null : requestBody.getBytes("utf-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
};
queue.addToRequestQueue(stringRequest);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
