in my app i need to post data to an url to register a new user. Here is the url
http://myurl.com/user.php? email=[EMAIL]&username=[USERNAME]&password[PASS]&img_url=[IMG]
If I do that correctly I should get this message:
{"success":true,"error":null}
or if not {"success":false,"error":"parameters"}
Can somebody guide me through this and tell me how can I do it.
first :
you need to perform all network tasks in an Async thread using:
public class PostData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//put all your network code here
}
Second:
create your http request:
i am assuming email, username and IMG as variables over here.
String server ="http://myurl.com/user.php? email=[" + EMAIL + "]&username=[" + USERNAME + "]&password[" + PASS + "]&img_url=["+IMG + "]";
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(server);
//httppost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
httppost.setHeader("Accept", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
//httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
httppost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
third:
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("JSONdata", Object));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs,"UTF-8"));
try {
HttpResponse response =httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Now simple query your response handler i.e. response in this case.
Don't forget to add INTERNET permission in your androidManifest.xml
Hope this helps!
Use a HTTP client class, and format your URL via a specific URI constructor. Create a HTTP post, optionally set the entity, headers, etc, execute the post via the client, receive a HTTP response, pull the entity out of the response and process it.
EDIT for example:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
URI uri = new URI("http",
"www.google.com", // connecting to IP
"subpath", // and the "path" of what we want
"a=5&b=6", // query
null); // no fragment
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(uri.toASCIIString);
// have a body ?
// post.setEntity(new StringEntity(JSONObj.toString()));
// post.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post);
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
Reader r = new InputStreamReader(entity.getContent());
// Do something with the data in the reader.

I am trying to fetch an authorization key from a server. In the documentation they state that I can retrieve one by executing the following curl command:
$ curl --data "grant_type=authorization_code&code=603372224265" https://gerard2.zportal.nl/api/v2/oauth/token`
I have followed the instructions from stackoverflow and produced the following:
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
mAuthorizationCode = params[0];
mSchoolCode = params[1];
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://" + mSchoolCode + ".zportal.nl/api/v2/oauth/token");
try{
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<>(2);
httppost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
httppost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("grant_type", "authorization_code"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("code", mAuthorizationCode));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs, HTTP.UTF_8));
HttpParams parameters = httppost.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(parameters, 45000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(parameters, 45000);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httppost);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
String line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
Log.e(LOG_TAG, line);
}
}catch(ClientProtocolException e){
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error", e);
}catch(IOException e){
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "IO Error", e);
}
return null;
}
The response the server sends me is:
E/ScheduleRetriever: {"response":{"status":500,"message":"Intern probleem op het portal.","details":"class org.springframework.web.bind.MissingServletRequestParameterException: Required String parameter 'grant_type' is not present","eventId":767369,"startRow":0,"endRow":0,"totalRows":0,"data":[]}
While I did include the POST_parameter "grant_type". Can someone help me figure out why the server says that it did not receive the parameter grant_type?
Thanks.
*EDIT: The code I used expired apparently. Generated a new one and it totally works. Thanks!
You shouldn't be overriding the Content-Type of the POST request to application/json using the line httppost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
This is most likely causing the server to misinterpret the data since the Content-type of the request should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Remove the following line and it should work:
httppost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
I need to send string (vietnamese) from Android devices to server like this:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(Constants.URL.UPDATE_CURRENT_STATUS);
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("location", "Thạch thất Hanoi "));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs,
HTTP.UTF_8));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
int respnseCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (respnseCode == 200) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
return EntityUtils.toString(entity);
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
But when server gets the string, its not like
Thạch thất Hanoi
its become
Thạch Thất Hanoi
My code in server side:
#RequestMapping(value = "/UpdateCurrentStatus", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = { "application/json" })
#ResponseBody
public MessageDTO updateCurrentStatus(
#RequestParam Map<String, String> requestParams) throws TNException {
String location = requestParams.get("location");
System.out.println(location);
MessageDTO result = driverBO.updateCurrentStatus(location);
return result;
}
How can I resolve this problem? Thank you.
Did you set you android httpclient Content-Type header to application/json; charset=utf-8 instead of "application/json"?
I think your problem is that the content entity location you sent is encoded correctly in UTF-8 but server failed to acknowledge UTF-8. clarify it in Content-Type header.
You can diagnose http content and its header with great http monitoring tool Fiddler.
-EDIT BELOW-
Relace your UrlEncodedFormEntity as below. Set header to application/json; charset=utf-8 as I described earlier. it's good to set it up still.
JSONObject jsonParam = new JSONObject();
jsonParam.put("location", "Thạch thất Hanoi ");
StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(jsonParam.toString(), "UTF-8");
httppost.setEntity(entity);
I am doing an Android application and I have a problem doing my request against my own server. I have made the server with Play Framework, and I get the parameters from a Json:
response.setContentTypeIfNotSet("application/json; charset=utf-8");
JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
JsonElement jsonElement = jsonParser.parse(getBody(request.body));
Long id =jsonElement.getAsJsonObject().get("id").getAsLong();
When I make my GET request against my server, all is ok. But when I make a POST request, my server return me an unknown error, something about there is a malformed JSON or that it is unable to find the element.
private ArrayList NameValuePair> params;
private ArrayList NameValuePair> headers;
...
case POST:
HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(host);
// Add headers
for(NameValuePair h : headers)
{
postRequest.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
if(!params.isEmpty())
{
postRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, HTTP.UTF_8));
}
executeRequest(postRequest, host);
break;
I have tried to do with the params of the request, but it was a failure:
if(!params.isEmpty())
{
HttpParams HttpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
for (NameValuePair param : params)
{
HttpParams.setParameter(param.getName(), param.getValue());
}
postRequest.setParams(HttpParams); }
And there is the different errors, depends on the request I make. All of them are 'play.exceptions.JavaExecutionException':
'com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException'
'This is not a JSON Object'
'Expecting object found: "id"'
I wish somebody can help me.
Here is a simple way to send a HTTP Post.
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("Your URL here");
httppost.setEntity(new StringEntity(paramsJson));
httppost.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
You would be better off using the JSON String directly instead of parsing it here. Hope it helps
Try this,It may help u
public void executeHttpPost(String string) throws Exception
{
//This method for HttpConnection
try
{
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("URL");
List<NameValuePair> value=new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
value.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Name",string));
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity=new UrlEncodedFormEntity(value);
request.setEntity(entity);
client.execute(request);
System.out.println("after sending :"+request.toString());
}
catch(Exception e) {System.out.println("Exp="+e);
}
}
I am trying to send JSON to my server and retrieve a JSON in return as a result.
Like sending in username and password and getting back token and other content.
This is what i am doing for the HTTP Request for sending. How do i now retrieve back the content in the same request ?
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.5/temp/test.php");
List<NameValuePair> value = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
value.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Name", jsonStr));
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(value);
request.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse res = client.execute(request);
String[] status_String=res.getStatusLine().toString().trim().split(" ");
//String hd=res.getFirstHeader("result").toString();
//System.out.println("Res=" + res);
Log.e("tag", ""+res.toString());
if(status_String[1].equals("200")){
isDataSent=true;
Let me add more in vvieux's answer:
res.getEntity().getContent()
will return you InputStream.
String returnData = EntityUtils.toString(res.getEntity());
You can use the HttpEntity
res.getEntity().getContent()
I need to create an HTTP POST request with parameters. I know there are many examples out there, I have tried using HTTPparams, NameValuePair etc but cant seem to get the correct format for the server.
Server Type: REST based API utilizing JSON for data transfer
Content-type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Content-length: 47
{"username":"abcd","password":"1234"}
I can pass these headers but I cant seem to pass these params "username","password". Here is my code:
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://www.mymi5.net/API/auth/login");
List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username","abcd"));
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password","1234"));
post.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs,"UTF-8");
post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
I tried to debug, but cant see if entity is attached properly or not... What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

Try this:
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://www.mymi5.net/API/auth/login");
post.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("username", "abcd");
obj.put("password", "1234");
post.setEntity(new StringEntity(obj.toString(), "UTF-8"));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
I'm not quite sure, from your description, but it would seem that your server expects a JSON content object instead of the data being encoded in the URL. Send something like this as the body of your post:
{"username":"abcd","password":"1234"}
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://www.mymi5.net/API/auth/login");
List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username","abcd"));
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password","1234"));
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs,HTTP.UTF_8);
post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
just try this coz it works perfect for me when i am trying to HTTP post.
this will probably work for you.
assuming you already have the json object.
NOTE: (1)in the server you need to handle th request as utf-8 (also in the DB).
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private static HttpResponse executePostRequest(JSONObject jsonData, String url) {
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(url);
try {
httpost.setEntity(new ByteArrayEntity(jsonData.toString().getBytes("UTF8")));
httpost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
httpost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
httpost.setHeader("Accept-Charset", "utf-8");
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(httpost);
return httpResponse;
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
then in the client handle the server response like this:
String responseBody = EntityUtils
.toString(response.getEntity(), "UTF-8");
