In my android app, I am sending a volley POST request and it's not working. Rather it is sending empty parameters.
If I enter the url (https://blogurl.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=20081&author_name=Ozuf&author_email=myemail@my.com&content=This_is_a_sampe_comment) in postman and send a POST request it yields the desired result.
And the code generated by Postman looks like this for JAVA OKHttp:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://blogurl.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=20081&author_name=Ozuf&author_email=myemail@my.com&content=This_is_a_sampe_comment")
.post(null)
.addHeader("cache-control", "no-cache")
.addHeader("postman-token", "23f2c2587-e9eb-5446-3d73-a1a1a6814683")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
This is the code I am using to send the POST request:
public void submitComment() {
final String comment = commentContent.getText().toString().trim();
final String name = commentName.getText().toString().trim();
final String email = commentEmail.getText().toString().trim();
Log.d(TAG, "submitComment called");
if (allFieldsAreValid()) {
Log.d(TAG, "All fields are valid");
final String postComment = "https://blogurl.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?";
final PostingComment postingComment = PostingComment.newInstance();
postingComment.show(getFragmentManager(), "fragmentDialog");
JsonObjectRequest postDetails = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.POST, postComment, null,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.d(TAG, response.toString());
parseResponse(response);
postingComment.dismiss();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d(TAG, "onErrorResponse for getPost called");
VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
postingComment.dismiss();
if (sthWrongAlert != null) {
sthWrongAlert.show();
}
}
}) {
@Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";
}
@Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("post", comtUrl);
params.put("author_name", name);
params.put("author_email", email);
params.put("content", comment);
return params;
}
};
int retrytimes = 10;
RetryPolicy policy = new DefaultRetryPolicy(DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS, retrytimes, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT);
postDetails.setRetryPolicy(policy);
//Creating requestqueue
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
//Adding request queue
requestQueue.add(postDetails);
Log.d(TAG, "Data sent is " + comment + name + email);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "All fields are not valid");
}
}
And Like I said before, the request goes true but the parameters are not sent along with it.
EDIT
After applying djodjo answer
public void submitComment() {
String comment = null;
try {
comment = URLEncoder.encode(commentContent.getText().toString().trim(), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String name = null;
try {
name = URLEncoder.encode(commentName.getText().toString().trim(), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String email = null;
try {
email = URLEncoder.encode(commentEmail.getText().toString().trim(), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "submitComment called");
if (allFieldsAreValid()) {
Log.d(TAG, "All fields are valid");
final String postComment = "https://blogurl.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post="+comtUrl+"&content="+comment+"&author_name="+name+"&author_email="+email;
final PostingComment postingComment = PostingComment.newInstance();
postingComment.show(getFragmentManager(), "fragmentDialog");
JsonObjectRequest postDetails = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.POST, postComment, null,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.d(TAG, response.toString());
parseResponse(response);
postingComment.dismiss();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d(TAG, "onErrorResponse for getPost called");
VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
postingComment.dismiss();
if (sthWrongAlert != null) {
sthWrongAlert.show();
}
}
}) {
@Override
public String getBodyContentType() {
return "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";
}
};
int retrytimes = 10;
RetryPolicy policy = new DefaultRetryPolicy(DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS, retrytimes, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT);
postDetails.setRetryPolicy(policy);
//Creating requestqueue
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
//Adding request queue
requestQueue.add(postDetails);
Log.d(TAG, "Data sent is " + comment + name + email);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "All fields are not valid");
}
}
After applying his solution, that's how my codes looks like. But I am constantly getting error 409.
