I am working with an IP camera, i need to get the picture from my android application,
First i have made an application in JAVA "standard", i use the same code for receive the stream in my android app.
The problem : "Authenticator" is simply not working on android, Yes i know on android it's not a standard VM, but it's in the google code so ..
I use it for the "login"
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator(){
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("user","pass".toCharArray());
}});
I find an other topic (I have search a lot about it ..) where people say "the google code have a problem" they was speaking about a fix, but the topic was made around 2006 - 2010 ... We are in 2014
I can only use it for connect my HttpURLConnection, i can't use the tweak with headers because it only works with "BASIC" authentification, me in my case i need it to work with "AUTH" authentification ...
PS : The most topic we found they speak for a "BASIC" authentification, who is more "easy" to do (just in the http header), but in my case I NEED TO USE the "AUTH" type
EDIT: I have the link about "some topics" who relate the problem :
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9579
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4326
(if it can help), but again, people who work with BASIC authentification, can tweak the headers for "conturning" the problem, but me i can't because it's "AUTH" type
Thanks for help,

I'm making a simple HTTP POST request using Tasker app, it's working fine but somehow it's not sending my arguments. HTTP GET is working fine. What am I doing wrong?
The only thing the server does is JSON stringify all received parameters and return them like: Text: { parameters }
HTTP GET is working:
HTTP POST works, it returns the response "text: {}" but doesn't return any parameter:
Now sometimes it shows "Bad Request Error 400"
I've tested it with another server and this issue persists...
Here's a fiddle to send get and post requests to the same server and both work.
I've exported my task as xml for you to test: You can download it here
Thanks in advance guys!
I have done a little testing with what you have supplied. It appears that your post parameters are making it to the server but %HTTPR is not getting populated. The Tasker documentation says that this variable will be populated if the response is "text-based", but this does not seem to be the case. I may not know what Tasker considers to be "text-based", but I have tried "text/plain" and "text/html" with no luck.
The work-around that I have come up with is to put the response into a file using the "Output File" field of the post task. (Leave "Content Type" blank or this won't work.) You can then read the file into a variable and do what you need to.
This is either a defect in Tasker, incorrect documentation, or just a misunderstanding of what it takes to make it work. This work-around, however, will get you what you need.
Here is a link to a GitHub repository with the updated task export. You may need to change the output file name/location to work with your device.
Update:
Since I posted the above solution, I have run across a Tasker plugin called "RESTask for Tasker". Evidently, Tasker has enough issues with HTML requests that a separate plugin was needed. I have tested this plugin with POST and it does work, so this is another way to go. The plugin is available on the Google Play store.
I am trying to implement a Sample application in Android which gets the malware and phishing list from safe Browsing API and checks the authenticity of URL, this is client side method, but I am constantly getting 400 (Bad Request) as response code when I am trying to hit the URL.
Searched throughout the internet but couldn't get any sample working code.
Even on Developer's Guide page https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/developers_guide_v2 it is not mentioned how to send the list name correctly in POST request for downloading or updating.
Please help me by providing the correct procedure of how to send list name (if code snippet can be posted, it would be great as I am new to Android.)
Check out that request should end with '\n'. It is common to ignore this. I hope it helps.
I am confronting myself with a problem that I do not know how to interpret. I am doing a project using Android and Google App Engine. When I am trying to save information in Google App Engine's Big Table, directly from the servlet (hardcoded) - the save is performed with no problem. But when I am trying to save data from my Android device, the save is not performed and the log indicates Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE error. To be more specific:
405 55ms 0kb Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)
82.155.246.249 - - [10/Jun/2013:05:20:59 -0700] "POST /servletnamehere HTTP/1.1" 405 306 - "Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)" "appnamehere.appspot.com" ms=56 cpu_ms=21 cpm_usd=0.000034 app_engine_release=1.8.0 instance=00c61b117cede3f754aa1ece730dc88287a20199
I have seen that 405 HTTP error appears in the context of a POST method ( "405 errors often arise with the POST method. You may be trying to introduce some kind of input form on the Web site, but not all ISPs allow the POST method necessary to process the form." ) => indeed, I am trying to perform add (the object is a JPA Entity) in the database using a POST method. The data I am receiving from my Android device is serialized, through an input stream (in my case, working with JSON is not an option, these are the specifications).
Also, 306 HTTP error reffers to switch proxy. While the porevious error might be a bit intuitive, this one is beyond my student knowledge.
I have followed the instructions of this tutorial (http://trumpy.cs.elon.edu/joel/sigcse2011/), which is indeed what I need, but I really cannot figure out what I did wrong. I took again the procedure, stept by step, but I don't see the flaw.
Any help will be indeed appreciated. If I should post some code, I'll gladly do it.
Best wishes,
Cropcircles
LATER EDIT:
Now I get 417 HTTP error expectation failed. I have seen that I am supposed to set a certain parameter on false, but this workaround was available only for .NET. Is there anyone who knows what's the correspondent of the following, in Java? I am really really confused.
<system.net>
<settings>
<servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
</settings>
</system.net>
This is not an answer, but is too long for a comment and may be helpful, so here goes...
First, it's hard to tell what's going on here because there is limited info. Try to post more of the logging either on the client or on the server. Go to the server console and get more info, for instance, or add debugging in the client. I'd start by trying to make the POST from a debug/testing tool like hurl.it: http://www.hurl.it/ (hurl is a nice web front end to a command line HTTP client named curl, see curl itself if you want a more advanced peek). That way you can test and poke around and make SURE your server side works as you expect with a generic client. Then build other clients (like Android).
Second, "Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE" is not an error, it's just the user-agent String -- so ignore that part. (UNAVAILABLE is where the version typically is, but some impls don't have access to the version sometimes, it seems.)
Third, the 405 response code IS an error, it means POST is not allowed at the server you are trying to POST to. That can either be because POST is not allowed at all on said server, or you're violating some security policy (such as same origin).
If it's AppEngine, first check the APP you are using and make sure it supports POST (look for info on how to do POST at AppEngine to solve, for instance: google app engine: 405 method not allowed). When you say you can do it directly from a "servlet," do you mean that a POST from a different client works? (Servlet is a server side technology, so that's a little confusing.) If so then make sure your Android app is doing the client part the same way to the same host (multipart vs urlencoded, etc).
For a little more on the security stuff, which could be involved, see this post: Google App Engine + jQuery Ajax = 405 Method Not Allowed.
I've had the same trouble and in my case It was an error due to no write permission on server side area.
I was following an android test to write on a file a value transmitted in async way via POST method.
Apache received the POST request but was not able to write the data on the file due to security permission on it.
I'm creating app that use autocomplete places google api.
And I don't know what is wrong but all the time I got responses like:
{
"predictions" : [],
"status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}
I send req : https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Paris&types=geocode&language=fr&sensor=true&key=mykey
Documentation says :
REQUEST_DENIED indicates that your request was denied, generally because of lack of a sensor parameter.
I have sensor parameter, maybe it is something with api key.
Is there any page where can I get google's log :), to see why I got REQUEST_DENIED?
I use api key from :
http://code.google.com/intl/pl-PL/android/maps-api-signup.html
Maybe I have to get an api key from somewhere else.
You should be able to view your API Key by going to the API Console first:
https://code.google.com/apis/console
If you haven't yet, you will need to create a new "Project" and then enable the Predictions services first by using the On/Off switch.
Please post your results, I have a similar problem with getting the REQUEST_DENIED response, but I've already got the API key and I'm using the sensor parameter like their documentation states.
It is frustrating that Google doesn't give any sort of response code along with REQUEST_DENIED so you can see why it's denying it. This will be difficult to support and troubleshoot in a production environment if this randomly goes out without providing any details as to why.
Update:
I just found this works for me now, but only after changing my requests to GET requests instead of POST. For reasons unknown, Google returns REQUEST_DENIED for POST requests but allows the same request via GET. A quick test for you to see if this is your problem would be to put the URL together with your API key and other parameters and try it through your browser instead. If that works then just rewrite your Android code to use GET instead of POST and you should be all set.
It was solved for me when I exchanged the API key. I was using the one under Android device, I changed it to the one "Key for browser apps (with referers)" and it worked for me although I'm using Android Device.
I recommend using .getJson() to get an error message along with your response to know what is exactly wrong.
For my case in flutter: I used googlePlace!.autocomplete.getJson(value);
and i got the following response.
{ "error_message" : "You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started", "predictions" : [], "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED" }
That's the wrong API key. Follow the steps here to get the right one.
Make sure you API keys are generated correctly and that you have enabled the necessary APIS.
In my case, when designing iOS application - I need to enable Google Maps SDK for iOS, Google Places API for iOS
And most importantly, and without being mentioned by Google (in any other place as well) enable Google Places API Web Service.
With this, I ended a 2 day search for my pesky problem.
And, of course, make sure you use Key for server applications
I'm having a terrible time accessing Picasa from Android. After hours of researching, I finally determined that the Google API Java Client library is what I should be using. Several hours later and I divined that I have to use Mercurial and Maven to download and build a sample client so that I can get certain secret libraries that aren't included in the download instructions. And of course the sample client is in no way compatible with and only slightly resembles that in the Picasa Developer's Guide.
So after much trouble I create a simple URL and try to list albums for a user, using code from the sample client:
PicasaUrl url = PicasaUrl.relativeToRoot("feed/api/user/someuser");
UserFeed userFeed = client.executeGetUserFeed(url);
Now the actual URL this creates is something like:
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/someuser?prettyprint=true
If I put this in my browser, it works fine. In my Android client, however, it gives me an HTTP 403 forbidden error. And no, I can't even run the sample client, because it doesn't give me an APK file. (Plus the source code isn't documented, is written like spaghetti, and uses deprecated methods.)
After turning on protocol-level logging, it turns out that this is the HTTP request being sent:
GET https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/someuser?fields=author/name,entry(#gd:etag,category(#scheme,#term),gphoto:access,gphoto:numphotos,link(#href,#rel),summary,title,updated),link(#href,#rel),openSearch:totalResults&kinds=album&max-results=3&prettyprint=false
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=null
User-Agent: MyApp/1.0 Google-HTTP-Java-Client/1.6.0-beta (gzip)
GData-Version: 2
Where in the Sam Hill did all that crap come from? But you know what? The URL still works in my browser. This must be something about the Authorization: header.
After much more pain, I managed to modify the authentication from the sample so that a notification would appear and allow the user to authenticate the account. Now I'm able to list albums.
But I still don't understand: how can I list the public albums without authentication?
