I am sending the API request from the android device with HttpUrlConnection like below
private static JSONObject get(Context ctx, String sUrl) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
String authUserName = "example";
String authPassword = "exam123ple";
String authentication = authUserName + ":" + authPassword;
String encodedAuthentication = Base64
.encodeToString(authentication.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
try {
URL url = new URL(sUrl);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
"Basic " + encodedAuthentication);
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "utf-8,*");
Log.d("Get-Request", url.toString());
try {
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(line).append("\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
Log.d("Get-Response", stringBuilder.toString());
return new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
} finally {
connection.disconnect();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ERROR", e.getMessage(), e);
return null;
}
}
and Post method be like
private static JSONObject post(String sUrl, String body) {
Log.d("post", sUrl);
Log.d("post-body", sanitizeJSONBody(body));
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
String authentication = "hoffensoft" + ":" + "hoffen123soft";
String encodedAuthentication = Base64
.encodeToString(authentication.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
try {
URL url = new URL(sUrl);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
"Basic " + encodedAuthentication);
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "utf-8,*");
OutputStreamWriter streamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(
connection.getOutputStream());
streamWriter.write(body);
streamWriter.flush();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
InputStreamReader streamReader = new InputStreamReader(
connection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
streamReader);
String response = null;
while ((response = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(response + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
Log.d("Post-Response",
sanitizeJSONBody(stringBuilder.toString()));
return new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
} else {
Log.d("Post-Error", connection.getResponseMessage());
return null;
}
} catch (Exception exception) {
Log.e("Post-Exception", exception.toString());
return null;
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
}
private static String buildSanitizedRequest(String url,
Map<String, String> mapOfStrings) {
Uri.Builder uriBuilder = new Uri.Builder();
uriBuilder.encodedPath(url);
if (mapOfStrings != null) {
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : mapOfStrings.entrySet()) {
Log.d("buildSanitizedRequest", "key: " + entry.getKey()
+ " value: " + entry.getValue());
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(entry.getKey(),
entry.getValue());
}
}
String uriString;
try {
uriString = uriBuilder.build().toString(); // May throw an
// UnsupportedOperationException
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Exception", "Exception" + e);
}
return uriBuilder.build().toString();
}
The method calling has done like the below coding
public static JSONObject registerTask(Context ctx, String sUrl,
String firstName, String lastName, String gender,
String mobileNumber, String emailAddress, String password,
String state, String city, String address, String userType,
String pinCode, String loginInfo) throws JSONException, IOException {
JSONObject request = new JSONObject();
request.putOpt("firstName", firstName);
request.putOpt("lastName", ((lastName == null) ? "" : lastName));
request.putOpt("gender", gender);
request.putOpt("email", emailAddress);
request.putOpt("mobileNumber", mobileNumber);
request.putOpt("password", password);
request.putOpt("state", state);
request.putOpt("city", city);
request.putOpt("userType", userType);
request.putOpt("address", address);
request.putOpt("pinCode", pinCode);
request.putOpt("loginTime", loginInfo);
sUrl = sUrl + "userRegistration.php";
return post(sUrl, request.toString());
}
And calling a get method looks like
public static JSONObject searchAvailability(Context ctx, String sUrl,
String journeyDate, String returnDate, String vehicleType, String username) throws JSONException, IOException {
Map<String, String> request = new HashMap<String, String>();
request.put("journeyDate", journeyDate);
request.put("returnDate", returnDate);
request.put("vehicleType", vehicleType);
request.put("username", username);
sUrl = sUrl + "SearchAvailability.php";
return get(ctx, buildSanitizedRequest(sUrl, request));
}
Both the Get and Post methods are working good but I am in dialoma about How to send update request to server as similar to GET and POST requests
