Here you can find your answer:
Basic HTTP Authentication on Android
Basically:
HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet(YOUR_URL); // Or HttpPost(), depends on your needs
String credentials = YOUR_USERNAME + ":" + YOUR_PASSWORD;
String base64EncodedCredentials = Base64.encodeToString(credentials.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
request.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + base64EncodedCredentials);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.execute(request);
// You'll need to handle the exceptions thrown by execute()
You can replace the last line with:
EDITED:
You can try someting like this:
try {
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
//this is the login response, logged so you can see it - just use the second part of the log for anything you want to do with the data
Log.d("Login: Response", EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
} catch (IOException e) {
//if something went badly wrong
}
So you can view your response, maybe the problem is parsing the JSON.
Assuming your PHP files are protected by HTTP Basic Authentication
, you can request your php files using this special URL syntax:
http://validuser:validpassword@www.domain.com/validfile.php
