I am trying to send a string from a android application to a servlet and then retrieve that string to my android application ,but when i try to invoke the servlet it force close on me and i dont know why (im very new to android and this is a practice exercise for me) here is my android simple app:
ANDROID
package com.theopentutorials.android;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HttpGetServletActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
Button button;
TextView outputText;
public static String request = "kjo ishte e gjitha";
public static final String URL = ("http://10.0.2.2:8080/HttpGetServlet/HelloWorldServlet?param1=" + request);
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
findViewsById();
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
private void findViewsById() {
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
outputText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outputTxt);
}
public void onClick(View view) {
GetXMLTask task = new GetXMLTask();
task.execute(new String[] { URL });
}
private class GetXMLTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
String output = null;
for (String url : urls) {
output = getOutputFromUrl(url);
}
return output;
}
private String getOutputFromUrl(String url) {
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer("");
try {
InputStream stream = getHttpConnection(url);
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(stream));
String s = "";
while ((s = buffer.readLine()) != null)
output.append(s);
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
return output.toString();
}
private InputStream getHttpConnection(String urlString)
throws IOException {
InputStream stream = null;
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
try {
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
httpConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConnection.connect();
if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
stream = httpConnection.getInputStream();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return stream;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String output) {
outputText.setText(output);
}
}
}
and here is my simple servlet
SERVLET
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
@WebServlet("/HelloWorldServlet")
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public HelloWorldServlet() {
super();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String par1 = request.getParameter("param1");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(par1);
}
}
And the logcat log error says
