I want some help; I actually have to read and use the content of some website in an Android app. I followed some tutorials but in vain. Someone can help me here.
Updated:
I actually have used two different codes to get the content of a website but they did not work for me
public static String connect(String url)
{
String result = "bubububu" ;
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Prepare a request object
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
// Execute the request
HttpResponse response;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
// Examine the response status
Log.i("Praeda",response.getStatusLine().toString());
// Get hold of the response entity
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
// If the response does not enclose an entity, there is no need
// to worry about connection release
if (entity != null) {
// A Simple JSON Response Read
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
result= convertStreamToString(instream);
// now you have the string representation of the HTML request
instream.close();
return result ;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage() ;
}
return result ;
}
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
/*
* To convert the InputStream to String we use the BufferedReader.readLine()
* method. We iterate until the BufferedReader return null which means
* there's no more data to read. Each line will appended to a StringBuilder
* and returned as String.
*/
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
public static String connect(String url)
{
String result = "bubububu" ;
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Prepare a request object
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
// Execute the request
HttpResponse response;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
// Examine the response status
Log.i("Praeda",response.getStatusLine().toString());
// Get hold of the response entity
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
// If the response does not enclose an entity, there is no need

if (entity != null) {
// A Simple JSON Response Read
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
result= convertStreamToString(instream);
// now you have the string representation of the HTML request
instream.close();
return result ;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage() ;
}
return result ;
}
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
/*

String line = null;
try {

sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
And
private String DownloadText(String URL)
{
int BUFFER_SIZE = 2000;
InputStream in = null;
try {
in = OpenHttpConnection(URL);
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
return "";
}
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in);
int charRead;
String str = "";
char[] inputBuffer = new char[BUFFER_SIZE];
try {
while ((charRead = isr.read(inputBuffer))>0)
{
//---convert the chars to a String---
String readString = String.copyValueOf(inputBuffer, 0, charRead);
str += readString;
inputBuffer = new char[BUFFER_SIZE];
}
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return "";
}
return str;
}
private InputStream OpenHttpConnection(String urlString)
throws IOException
{
InputStream in = null;
int response = -1;
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
if (!(conn instanceof HttpURLConnection))
throw new IOException("Not an HTTP connection");
try{
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) conn;
httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
httpConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConn.connect();
response = httpConn.getResponseCode();
if (response == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
in = httpConn.getInputStream();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new IOException("Error connecting");
}
return in;
}
Both of these give me exception. The 1st one gives exception at response = httpclient.execute(httpget) and exception.getMessage() is "null" while the 2nd one gives exception at httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false) and exception.getMessage() is Error connecting. Even I have used Internet permissions in menifest file
