I have an android application that's supposed to send a request to a simple HelloWorld C# webservice I made on ServiceStack but I am not able to connect. My application crashes when I try to connect. Here is my code on Eclipse, trying to access the ServiceStack service:
String base = "http://192.168.1.7:62938/json/reply/Hello?Name=";
String str = editTextField.getText().toString();
StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(base + str);
String result = "";
HttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url.toString());
HttpResponse r = hc.execute(httpget);
int status = r.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (status == 200) {
HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();
String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);
JSONObject o = new JSONObject(data);
result= o.getString("result");
}
My C# service code for ServiceStack:
//Request DTO
public class Hello
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
//Response DTO
public class HelloResponse
{
public string Result { get; set; }
public ResponseStatus ResponseStatus { get; set; }
}
//Can be called via any endpoint or format, see: //http://mono.servicestack.net/ServiceStack.Hello/
public class HelloService : Service
{
public object Any(Hello request)
{
return new HelloResponse { Result = "Helloooo, " + request.Name };
}
}
My service works fine on my laptop when I go to localhost:62938/json/reply/Hello?Name="arbitraryName" but it does not work when I try to replace localhost with my laptop's ip address and access the service from an android device. It also does not work if I replace localhost with my IP address and try it on my browser on my laptop. Note: I want to make it work from a real android device, not an emulator.
Is there something different with ServiceStack services where I cannot access it normally from another device? I have already tried opening port 62938 and it did not work.
I appreciate any guidance. Thank you.
