LoginAsync la = new LoginAsync();

}

You can pass txtUser and Pass to invokeLogin();
so it look like invokeLogin(txtUser,Pass);
Then your invokeLogin method
public void invokeLogin(String username, String pass){
login(username,pass);
}

Converting DefaultHttpClient to HttpUrlConnection

Hello guys so i'm having difficult in changing this classes that i've created to httpurlConnection. i've seraced the web and im not familiar at all with the httpUrlConnection
App flow:
coming to MainActivity => OnTokenAcuired => GetCokie => Auth
then i have an httpPostRequest

Taking data parsed with JSON and displaying it as text in Android

I am using JSON to access my mySQL database and then return product information such as the UPCA, Product, and Company. I am able to get the information to display in grey text but not appear in text view. How can I get it to appear in text view. I have reviewed other questions but I cannot find one that would specifically help me. Any information on how to do this would be great. Maybe I am missing something? Thank you in advance

http request and http response in android?

I am working on with:
org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
i am using jsp for writing server side code.
i am unaware of the procedure of sending some value to server from my emulator.
and get a value o a string from the server response.
I mean to say... what are the methods to be used? How to use them.?

To send a HTTP GET request and retrieve response:
private static void get(final Context context, final String url) {
new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = Utils.createHttpRequest(context, url, true, false);
setProxyIfNecessary(context, request);
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
Log.v("Test", "StatusCode: " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + ", Entity: " + EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
} catch (Exception e) {
// Oh, crash
}
}
}.start();
}
private static void setProxyIfNecessary(Context context, HttpUriRequest request) {
ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivity == null ? null : connectivity.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (networkInfo == null || networkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
return;
}
String proxyHost = Proxy.getHost(context);
if (proxyHost == null) {
return;
}
int proxyPort = Proxy.getPort(context);
if (proxyPort < 0) {
return;
}
HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort);
ConnRouteParams.setDefaultProxy(request.getParams(), proxy);
}
Call it by:
get(context, "http://developer.android.com/index.html");
And you will get log by logcat *:S Test:V
Notice that the new thread is to avoid blocking UI thread

Below is a code i implemented for sending username and password from android to server side JSP page. The response from the server is a json object which is then processed.The code is as given below.

{
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

pd.show();
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run(){
download(etuser.getText().toString(), md5(etpw.getText().toString()));
pd.dismiss();
}
};

}
});
}
}
});
}
public void download (final String user, final String pw)

final JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
JSONObject menuObject = jObject.getJSONObject("responseData");
if (jObject.getInt("responseStatus")== 200 && jObject.get("responseDetails")!= null)
{
sessionid = menuObject.getString("session_id");
finish();
}
else
{
//dismissDialog(DIALOG_LOADING);
if (jObject.getInt("responseStatus")== 500)
{
throw new Exception("Server Error");
}
else if (jObject.getInt("responseStatus")== 400)

throw new Exception("Wrong User/Password");
}

{
throw new Exception();
}
}
//pd.dismiss();
} catch (Exception e) {
//dismissDialog(DIALOG_LOADING);
Toast toast ;
toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), 500);
toast.show();
}
}
private String md5(String in) {
MessageDigest digest;
try {
digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
digest.reset();
digest.update(in.getBytes());
byte[] a = digest.digest();
int len = a.length;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(len << 1);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
sb.append(Character.forDigit((a[i] & 0xf0) >> 4, 16));
sb.append(Character.forDigit(a[i] & 0x0f, 16));
}
return sb.toString();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
return null;
}
}
No error occurs in the Dalvik Debug Monitor.
Please help

I would recommend to use AsyncTask for this case. So in your AsyncTask.onPreExecute() you call Activity.showDialog(int id), do your networking job in AsyncTask.doInBackground() and Activity.dismissDialog(int id) the dialog in AsyncTask.onPostExecute().
I think that's the most correct way of doing such "under-popup" things.
