Android automatic webview login

I am trying to get my webview to show a page that is only accesible after i am logged in. but whatever i try i cant get past the login url.
How can i open/show the SEND_VISUM_URL after i login.
this is what i have so far:
String LOGIN_URL = "http://10.35.50.125/BCS/index.php?module=";
String SEND_VISUM_URL = "http://10.35.50.1/BCS/index.php?module=ScanVisa&Action=save";
#Override

webView.loadUrl(LOGIN_URL);
cookieManager = new CookieManager();
Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.PostData);
login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
new loginTask().execute(getLoginData());
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public class loginTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
String loginData = params[0];
String text = "";
BufferedReader reader = null;
// Send data
try {
// Defined URL where to send data
URL login_url = new URL(LOGIN_URL);
// getting cookies:

OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
try {
wr.write(loginData); //post
wr.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Get the server response

}

while(cookieNames.hasNext()) {

Map cookie = (Map)domainStore.get(cookieName);
// check cookie to ensure path matches and cookie is not expired
// if all is cool, add cookie to header string
if (comparePaths((String)cookie.get(PATH), path) && isNotExpired((String)cookie.get(EXPIRES))) {

any help would be greatly appreciated!

HttpUrlConnection does not work on mobile device but on emulator

all of a sudden my mobile device can't connect to the local server anymore. async tasks are not executed and i just can't figure out why. slowly i'm getting really desperate because in my opinion i didn't change anything to cause this.
as an example, this is a background task which is not working
public class Login extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{
private String loginUrl = "http://...";
private int loginSuccess = 0;
public String getToken(String fromJson) throws JSONException {
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(fromJson);
if(json.has("api_authtoken")) {

String appToken = json.getString("api_authtoken");

HttpClient is not supported any more in sdk 23. You have to use URLConnection or downgrade to sdk 22 (compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0')
If you need sdk 23, add this to your gradle:
android {
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}
HttpClient won't import in Android Studio

You should think about using a HTTP library, there is a bunch of them on internet, some are really easy to use, optimize and errorless.
For example, Volley (made by Google, I really like this one), okHttp or Picasso (for image).
You should take a look at this.

If you want to send (output), for example with POST or PUT requests you need to use this :-
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
In your code :-
public class Login extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{
private String loginUrl = "http://...";
private int loginSuccess = 0;
public String getToken(String fromJson) throws JSONException {
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(fromJson);
if(json.has("api_authtoken")) {
loginSuccess = 1;
String appToken = json.getString("api_authtoken");
return appToken;
}
else {
return json.toString();
}
}
public String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
// so that they can be closed in the finally block.
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
String authToken;
try {
// get logged in to get the api_authtoken
String email = (String) arg0[0];
String password = (String) arg0[1];
URL url = new URL(loginUrl);
// Create the request and open the connection
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true); // HERE
//put values of edittexts into json-Object
JSONObject data = new JSONObject();
try {
data.put("email", email);
data.put("password", password);
} catch(JSONException e) {
Log.e("EXCEPTION", "unexpected JSON exception", e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
wr.write(data.toString());
wr.flush();
urlConnection.connect();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
//read server response
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
//receive server "answer"
try {
return getToken(sb.toString());
}catch(JSONException e) {
Log.e("LOG", "unexpected JSON exception", e);
e.printStackTrace();
} finally{
if (urlConnection != null) {
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
if (reader != null) {
try {
reader.close();
} catch (final IOException e) {
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error closing stream", e);
}
}

Confusing JSON Object and JSON Array in Android

URL JSON Parsing Error. Please check my code.
{
"info": "Central Bank of Myanmar",
"description": "Official Website of Central Bank of Myanmar",
"timestamp": "1448611200",
"rates":
{
"USD": "1,300.0",
"CZK": "51.055",
"JPY": "1,060.2",
}
}
Activity code is:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.json_object);
TextView output = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
String data = "";
try {
String ka =callURL("http://forex.cbm.gov.mm/api/latest");
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(ka);
JSONObject servicedata = object.getJSONObject("rates");
String USD = servicedata.getString("USD");
data += "USD Currency " + USD +" ";
output.setText(data);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Call URL give me error.
public static String callURL(String myURL) {
System.out.println("Requeted URL:" + myURL);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
URLConnection urlConn = null;
InputStreamReader in = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(myURL);
urlConn = url.openConnection();
if (urlConn != null)
urlConn.setReadTimeout(60 * 1000);
if (urlConn != null && urlConn.getInputStream() != null) {
in = new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream(),
Charset.defaultCharset());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(in);
if (bufferedReader != null) {
int cp;
while ((cp = bufferedReader.read()) != -1) {
sb.append((char) cp);
}
bufferedReader.close();
}
}
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Exception while calling URL:"+ myURL, e);
}
return sb.toString();
}

Try with android volly library It is developed by Google.
You can easily convert json to java and vice versa.

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
I put this code under the setContentView and code it work. Thank your advertises.
I spent the time about one day for this.

Android HttpPost request to server

i want to send data from android SqLite database to my Codeigniter web App controller which take the post data and save it to MySql database
so i made buttn to make this sync task in android app and its code:
public void syncAttendance(View v) {
try
{
/** Retrieving data from database **/
//use cursor to keep all data
//cursor can keep data of any data type
Cursor c=db.rawQuery("select * from mytable", null);
int memNum = 1;
//move cursor to first position
c.moveToFirst();
//fetch all data one by one
do
{
//we can use c.getString(0) here
//or we can get data using column index
String memID = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("memID"));
String currTime = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("currTime"));
String dayName = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("dayName"));
////////////////////////////////////////
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://mywebsite.com/index.php/admin/attendance/scan_qr");
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
/** try {**/
// JSON data:
json.put("memID", memID);
json.put("currTime", currTime);
json.put("dayName", dayName);
JSONArray postjson=new JSONArray();
postjson.put(json);
// Post the data:
httppost.setHeader("json",json.toString());
httppost.getParams().setParameter("jsonpost",postjson);
// Execute HTTP Post Request
System.out.print(json);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
// for JSON:
if(response != null)
{
InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
text = sb.toString();
}
//tv.setText(text);
/**
}catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
**/
//////////////////////////////////////////
/** show confirmation toast **/
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, memNum + memID + currTime + dayName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
memNum ++;
//move next position until end of the data
}while(c.moveToNext());
/** show confirmation toast **/
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Synchronization Completed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and the php codeigniter controller code is:
public function scan_qr()
{
$json = $_SERVER['HTTP_JSON'];
var_dump($json);
$data = json_decode($json);
var_dump($data);
$memID = $data->memID;
$currTime = $data->currTime;
$dayName = $data->dayName;
$ma7abawy_year = 3;
$data= array(
'member_id' => $memID,
//'points' => $points,
'presence_time' => $currTime,
//'event' => $eventname,
'event_date' => $dayName,
'ma7abawy_year' => $ma7abawy_year
);
$this->db->insert('attendance',$data);
}
i have no exception but nothing is happened
any ideas would be appreciated

I would suggest to use retrofit (see API docs) library to consume the service. Afterwards, see what you get back in the response and it will be a simple matter of saving the data to the sqlite3 db. See example for saving data.

how to create a string representation of json

hey there guys and girls i have this code that saves json as a string representation, i still haveing a little trouble understanding how the entity section works, and need to know how to change my code so that it works, this is the error im getting,
Error saving string java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '[{"story_name":"Story One"},{"story_name":"Story Two"},{"story_name":"Story Three"},{"story_name":"Story Four"},{"story_name":"Story Five"},{"story_name":"Story Six"}]' as integer
i was getting help from someone last night that almost got me there but still need a little more understanding of how it works and wht i get the parse error here is my full code

return;
//and of openJson()
}
//end of class body
}

My guess it your code failed at this lines:
responseInteger = Integer.valueOf(entityString);
After a little inspection, I see that your JSON is:
[{"story_name":"Story One"},{"story_name":"Story Two"},{"story_name":"Story Three"},{"story_name":"Story Four"},{"story_name":"Story Five"},{"story_name":"Story Six"}]
A closer inspection using JSON Viewer, I see that your structure is like this:
The problem is
I don't see any integer in this JSON. You might have to use a combination of JSONObject and JSONArray to parse your it properly.

Your problem is this line
responseInteger = Integer.valueOf(entityString);
entityString is
'[{"story_name":"Story One"},{"story_name":"Story Two"},{"story_name":"Story Three"},{"story_name":"Story Four"},{"story_name":"Story Five"},{"story_name":"Story Six"}]'
And when Integer.valueOf tries to parse it, it can't parse it as an integer, so it throws a NumberFormatException.

Sample JSon string:
{
Stories:
[
{
"story_name": "Story One"
},
{
"story_name": "Story Two"
}
]
}
Create a Class:
public class Story
{
public String stort_name;
}
class CollectionOfStories
{
public List<Story> Stories;
public CollectionOfSections()
{
Stories= new ArrayList<Story>();
}
}
Finally:
private CollectionOfStories convertDataFromJSonToObject(String jsonString)
{
JSONObject jso;
CollectionOfStories colStories = new CollectionOfStories();
try
{
jso = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONArray ja = jso.getJSONArray("Stories");
for (int i = 0; i < ja.length(); i++)
{
Story s = new Story();
JSONObject jsonSection = ja.getJSONObject(i);
s.stort_name = jsonSection.getString("story_name");
//add it to sections list
colStories.Stories.add(s);
}
}
catch (NumberFormatException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (JSONException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return colStories;
}
