I'm trying to connect to a webservice offered by my heating at home. Putting the request URL into Chrome results in a complete XML file. Subsequently I tried to do the same programmatically with an Android application, which unfortunately only replies about the half of the XML file.
I already tried several attempts, amongst others a simple HttpConnection:
private void androidHttpConnect() {
HttpURLConnection urlConnection=null;
try {
URL url = new URL("http://10.0.0.140:8080/user/menu");
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(
urlConnection.getInputStream());
Log.i("myapp",convertStreamToString(in));
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
private String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
return new Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A").next();
}
and the Android Http Client ...
HttpClient httpclient = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Android");
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://10.0.0.140:8080/user/menu");
HttpResponse response;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
long len = entity.getContentLength();
Log.d("myapp", "content length "+len);
if (len != -1) {
try {
Log.d("myapp", EntityUtils.toString(entity));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
// Stream content out
}
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Interestingly those attempts cut the result on different positions, even though they only differ in about 5 characters. At this position there is no special character and the XML is quite short.
Anyone any idea? I also tried to run it in a ASyncTask to ensure no interrupt by the UI thread, but without success.
Thanks for your help.
