How to get Hyperlink from whole string - android

I create an application in which i get the response from web service .
The response is
"I might be in danger. I have triggered my panic alarm which is connected to you. Call me now. If i'm not answering, contact the police. My position is:http://maps.google.com/maps?q=21.183783,72.823548"
3.I store the string in text view.and i want to open HTTP URL in browser,on the click of text.but how can i get HTTP URL in whole string plese give me idea.

You can do this easily with php...
If you are able to run php, this should do it.
$string = $_GET['string'];
OR
$string = $_POST['string'];
this may change depending on how you get the responce from the website, feel free to send me the form which you get the responce and ill change it accordingly.
$string_chunks = explode('http://',$string,2);
$url = 'http://'.$string_chunk['1'];
Basically, this will take the string, find the "http://" and create 2 strings out of it. one with the content before the "http://" and one with the content after, which is the url. so it would return $string_chunk['0'] and $string_chunk['1']

var response = "ur response string";
var indexofHttp = response.indexOf('http://');
var url = response.substring(indexofHttp);

Android HTTP Link stop reading when there is a " ",() ,etc

I try to send the user key in String to onine server and make request, but it just send the string before the symbols. Any idea how to make Android read through but not remove the symbols? I mean all the symbols.
The following method is replace the [space] so the PHP can read my link
String sText = ""+autoTv.getText().toString().replace(" ","%20")+"";
SearchRequest t = new SearchRequest();
t.execute(sText);

Android Webview POST request

I'm trying to do a post request with a WebView on Android.
After searching for days and trying dozens of things i couldn't get it work. In SWIFT it's just a few lines of code so i thought there must also be a simple way to do a post request for a webview on android.
As (for 2016) EncodingUtils and HTTPClient are deprecated this are my current approaches:
String url = "http://example.com/php.php";
String postData = null;
postData = "param1=" + URLEncoder.encode("1234567890", "UTF-8");
webcontent.postUrl(url,postData.getBytes());
//or
webcontent.postUrl(url, Base64.encode(postData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT));
Both just result in a blank screen. There is just one parameter to be sent and a string containing html from the server should be received.
In addition, the php on the server returns a html-string with colored background irrespective of any input, but even this isn't displayed so maybe the whole request never reaches the server?
Thanks in advance!
In Android you do not use webView to access the content of the HTTP response. You'll need to use HttpClient for that purpose!
See this nice tutorial which explains the fundamentals! Also see this video if you find it hard!
Hope it helps!

How do I call Web Service written in Python from Android app

Here is my web service code
I can call it in my browser using http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/<input parameters> I am collecting Input parameters from user on android device. Obviously web service returns a JSON data which I need to display at client side in android application. I went through many posts and tutorials on android and web service but was not successful as many have the web service example of POST request and service in PHP. I want to do it for GET and service is in flask.
Please help Thank you.
EDIT:
I am calling web service using HttpGet object and I am passing my URL as parameter to it.
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(myURL);
and I am Constructing myURL as
EditText inputString = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.serverText);
String appendString =URLEncoder.encode(inputString.getText().toString(), "UTF-8") ;
private final HttpClient Client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String myURL = "http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/" + appendString;
Here I am getting myURL as
http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/hc+stays+toll+collection but I want it in this manner
http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/HC%20stays%20toll%20collection%20in%20kolhapur%20city
I know there is some url encoding problem but dont know way out of it.
Here is what gave me solution to my question may not be the suggestible and standard way of doing it but got me out of the problem:
String appendString = (inputString.getText().toString()).replace(" ", "%20") ;//here %20 is encoding for space
String myURL = "http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/" + appendString;
That gave me this :
http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/HC%20stays%20toll%20collection%20in%20kolhapur%20city
instead of this
http://sheltered-taiga-3258.herokuapp.com/toi/hc+stays+toll+collection
If I find the authentic way of doing this thing I will surely be posting it here marked as answer

how to get the information from a http head in android

i've been given the task to send a POST message to the server giving it a JSON encoded message. The server would then send back a responce in a custom HTTP header field “X-SubmissionResponse”
so far i can successfully connect to the server (i know this because i get the responce code 202)
but i am having a lot of difficulty in getting the information from the responce, below is the code that i am currently using.
Error content not available
This code ends up returning null, Can anyone see what i am missing here?
This is the code above the if statement ^
Error content not available
Header name = response.getFirstHeader("X-SubmissionResponse");
String whatsInhere = "";
if (name != null)
whatsInhere = name.getValue();
Try using the correct methods of the Class Header.
See http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/Header.html
HttpHead head = new HttpHead();
creates a new HEAD request, empty, that does not do anything in itself.
You want the header from the response to your request. Get it by simply:
Header name = response.getFirstHeader("X-SubmissionResponse");

Mystery URL decoding of certain characters - Android URI / Google App Engine

I am having a curious problem that perhaps someone has insight into. I encode a query string into a URL on Android using the following code:
request = REQUEST_BASE + "?action=loadauthor&author=" + URLEncoder.encode(author, "UTF-8");
I then add a few other parameters to the string and create a URI like this:
uri = new URI(request);
At a certain point, I pull out the query string to make a checksum:
uri.getRawQuery().getBytes();
Then I send it on its way with:
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(uri);
On the Appengine server, I then retrieve the string and try to match the checksum:
String query = req.getQueryString();
Normally, this works fine. However, there are a few characters that seem to get unencoded on the way to the server. For example,
action=loadauthor&author=Charles+Alexander+%28Ohiyesa%29+Eastman&timestamp=1343261225838&user=1479845600
shows up in the server logs (and in the GAE app) as:
action=loadauthor&author=Charles+Alexander+(Ohiyesa)+Eastman&timestamp=1343261226837&user=1479845600
This only happens to a few characters (like parentheses). Other characters remain encoded all the way through. Does anyone have a thought about what I might be doing wrong? Any feedback is appreciated.
I never did find a solution for this problem. I worked around it by unencoding certain characters on the client before sending things to the server:
request = request.replace("%28", "(");
request = request.replace("%29", ")");
request = request.replace("%27", "'");
If anyone has a better solution, I am sure that I (and others) would be interested!
URLEncoder does not encode parentheses and certain other characters, as they are supposed to be "safe" for most servers. See URLEncoder. You will have to replace these yourself if necessary.
Example:
URI uri = new URI(request.replace("(","%28"));
If a lot of replacements are needed, you can try request.replaceAll(String regularExpression, String replacement). This, of course, requires knowledge of regular expressions.
