Httpget With Request Body Android
I try to make a request on server by HttpGet. But in message body should be a json object. Code below is not working because unit_id and sercret_key are not sent on server in body
Solution 1:
Basically, you cannot send row data in the body (JSON or anything) with an HTTP/GET request. The protocol simply does not allow you to do that. Obviously, you will have to use POST to do that in Android too. :)
UPDATE
I was incorrect. Infact the protocol does allow you to put an entity into the request object. This class can be used instead of Apache HttpGet
.
public class HttpGetWithEntity extends HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase {
public HttpGetWithEntity() {
super();
}
public HttpGetWithEntity(URI uri) {
super();
setURI(uri);
}
public HttpGetWithEntity(String uri) {
super();
setURI(URI.create(uri));
}
@Override
public String getMethod() {
return HttpGet.METHOD_NAME;
}
}
And use it like as follows,
HttpClientclient=newDefaultHttpClient();
HttpGetWithEntitymyGet=newHttpGetWithEntity("Url here");
myGet.setEntity(newStringEntity("This is the body", "UTF8"));
HttpResponseresponse= client.execute(myGet);
The source for HttpGetWithEntity
is found here
Solution 2:
If you wnat to add JSON object to your request it must be a Post request, and this is how you perform it:
publicstaticString sendComment (String commentString, int taskId, String sessionId, int displayType, String url) throws Exception{
//creating map object to creat Json object from itMap<String, Object> jsonValues = newHashMap<String, Object>();
jsonValues.put("sessionID", sessionId);
jsonValues.put("NewTaskComment", commentString);
jsonValues.put("TaskID" , taskId);
jsonValues.put("DisplayType" , displayType);
JSONObject json = newJSONObject(jsonValues);
//creating a post request.DefaultHttpClient client = newDefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = newHttpPost(url + SEND_COMMENT_ACTION);
//setting json object to post request.AbstractHttpEntity entity = newByteArrayEntity(json.toString().getBytes("UTF8"));
entity.setContentType(newBasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
post.setEntity(entity);
//this is your response:HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
returngetContent(response);
}

Here is nice example how to do it and it is working.
Apache HttpClient GET with body
But this approach is against RESTFUL api i think.
