Getting data from web service from android - android

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
request.setURI(new URI(address));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
When I retrieve information like that, bufferedreader in contains only one long line with the whole text. It doesn't divide break data into lines. As a result, only first 3 kwords are fit into the line and the rest is losed. How can I avoid this problem?

Simply
URL url = new URI(address).toURL();
InputStream is = url.openStream();

Have you try this?
String data = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

500 Internal Server Error by post request android

Will HTTP post request cause 500 internal server ERROR?. hmmm if so below is my code and why am i constantly getting 500 Internal server error? what am i missing in the code?.
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost((GetAllNewsURL));
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(
1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pageNo", "0"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("newsPerPage",
"0"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
stream = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(stream));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
thanks,
for me sometimes because of problem on server side I have to send params as header try the same thing like
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost((GetAllNewsURL+"?pageNo=0&newsPerPage=0"));
or only pass one param as header hopefully it works

Android Json Get URL STOPPED

I just started the topic to get data from a JSON OpenData and visualize via my phone.
I followed this tutorial and it has worked all :)
https://www.learn2crack.com/2013/10/android-asynctask-json-parsing-example.html
The url whew i get the datas is :
http:// + api.learn2crack.com/android/json/ (sorry for that, I don't have a good reputation :) )
Then I wanted to try a Opendata me and my android application stops, the url is:
http://ckan.opendata.nets.upf.edu/storage/f/2013-11-30T16%3A49%3A59.118Z/london.json
You can see it's the same and I only change the name of URL in the code.
You know if the problem is because of the OpenData? and I need some permission? Because when I execute the second part my app stopped
Here, this will work. I am using Strict Policy but normally you should use Async. Please google this as to why we should use Async instead of Strict Policy. This is irrelevant here
When i am using HttpPost to get your json from url, i am getting these errors :-
405 Method Not Allowed
The method POST is not allowed for this resource.
You cannot POST a file
so i am using HttpGet :-
String url = "http://ckan.opendata.nets.upf.edu/storage/f/2013-11-30T16:49:59.118Z/london.json";
try{
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
//HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(sb.toString());
JSONArray json2 = json.getJSONArray("user");
for (int i = 0; i < json2.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = json2.getJSONObject(i);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Huge HttpPost response : JSON

I am sending an HttpPost request and getting the response in JSON format. But, as the response is so huge, I receive only a small part of the response compared to what I can see it in the browser. My code is below:
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(uri);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream content = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
As the default buffer size is 8192 characters. I just tried with giving more value but it didn't matter. So, any suggestions on this...
I think that +Che Jami is onto something in the OP.
Manjunath, logcat will only output 1024 characters at a time. Have you tried outputting the String builder 1024 characters at a time? Did you check the length of the string after reading into it?
Send only chunks (batches) of your full response in your responses and while your response is not finished use polling.

What is the best way to send a name value pair to a server?

I've been trying this for the best part of two weeks now, and I am really stuck. Initially I had created a simple ObjectOutputStream client - server program - with the client being the Android app, but it does not work (it reads the connection but not the object).
So now I am confused as to what other approaches I might be able to take to carry out this simple task? Can anyone Help?
have you tried URLConnection using post method? :)
Or get method like:
String yourURL = "www.yourwebserver.com?value1=one&value2=two";
URL url = new URL(yourURL);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
response = in.readLine();
you can try JSON stirng to send data. We have a lot of stuff available on how to work with JSON and also there are many api's. JSONSimple is the one I can suggest. Its really easy.
why don't you try this:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
You can use this to post an Entity to server:
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(url);
postRequest.setEntity(entity);
try {
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postRequest
);
String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response
.getEntity());
Log.v(ProgramConstants.TAG, "after uploading file "
+ jsonString);
return jsonString;
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
An Entity can be name value pair:
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("key1", value1));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("key2", value2));
Entity entity=new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8)
Or you can send an entity with bytearray.
Bitmap bitmapOrg=getBitmapResource();
ByteArrayOutputStream bao = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmapOrg.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bao);
byte[] data = bao.toByteArray();
MultipartEntity entity=new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE)
entity.addPart("file", new ByteArrayBody(data, "image/jpeg",
"file"));
If you want to post json to server:
Please check out this link How do I send JSon as BODY In a POST request to server from an Android application?
For serializing and deserializing java object, I recommend https://sites.google.com/site/gson/gson-user-guide#TOC-Using-Gson
Really hope it can help you see an overview of sending data to server

Android BufferedInputStream HTTP POST/GET

I Use BufferedInputStream For HTTP POST/GET
But I Get Some Error the Below
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://XX.XX.XX.XX/WebWS/data.aspx
Transport endpoint is not connected
Why Get This Error. My Code is Below
URL url = new URL(glob.postUrl);
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
httpConn.setDoInput(true);
httpConn.setDoOutput(true);
httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "TR");
httpConn.setConnectTimeout(12000);
Iterator<String> reqProps = hMap.keySet().iterator();
while (reqProps.hasNext()) {
String key = reqProps.next();
String value = hMap.get(key);
httpConn.addRequestProperty(key, value);
}
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(httpConn.getInputStream());
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String line;
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8"));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
} finally {
in.close();
}
httpConn.disconnect();
Thanks.
Is there any reason you're not using HttpClient?
You can replace your code with something like:
HttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet, httpContext);
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
String page = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
You can setup the HttpClient with ClientConnectionManager and HttpParams for security and various http parameters for the client at initialisation (plenty of examples around if you search on class names).
HttpURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream() is known to throw a FileNotFoundException if the HTTP response status code is 400 or higher, i.e. for any error condition on the server side. You should check what the status code really is in order to obtain suitable debug information.
However, I second Mark Fisher's suggestion about using HttpClient, which AFAIK is the preferred way of working with HTTP on Android.
