accessing a password protected URL in android using volley library

Question

I have protected some hosted files with a password to avoid any unknow access but I don't know how to directly access these files from my application , I am using Volley library and I tried this :

    private static final String URL = "http://user:password@mywebsite.com/file/json/";

public static void getData(final Context context) {

    requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context.getApplicationContext());
    JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, URL, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {

            try {
                String somedata= response.getString("data");

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
          //  Toast.makeText(context, "Error Loading Data\n Please Restart App", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
    requestQueue.add(jsonObjectRequest);
    }

I realised that my app doesn't fetch data from my json file , but when I access the URL above from browser , it works perfectly

Answer 1

Do not put your password into Url. Volley supported all Http methods. You should use Post or Put methods

new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>(){
 ...
}

It seems your URL is incorrect or you are using redirection. Because of the result code, chrome auto calls a new url. Apart of these browser automatically set the port 80 if port is not defined. Also pay attention on your back end side
