I'm a newbie at android development. I'm trying to send a GET request to an URL. I wrote the below code.
public void searchProducts(View v)
{
//String txtSearchTerm = ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtsearch)).getText().toString();
//String termCleaned = txtSearchTerm.replace(' ', '+').toString();
AlertDialog alertMessage = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
alertMessage.setTitle("Loading");
alertMessage.setMessage(GET("http://webkarinca.com/sample.json"));
alertMessage.show();
}
public static String GET(String url){
InputStream inputStream = null;
String result = "";
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(url));
inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
if(inputStream != null)
{
result = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
}
else
{
result = "Did not work!";
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("InputStream", e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
return result;
}
private static String convertInputStreamToString(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException{
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = "";
String result = "";
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
inputStream.close();
return result;
}
I already put imports head of the class. There they are
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.json.JSONObject;
It doesn't work and at the Problems section it shows as a warning
The type HttpGet is deprecated
The type HttpResponse is deprecated
try this
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.SocketTimeoutException;
import java.net.URL;
import android.content.Context;
import com.jivebird.settings.CommonMethods;
public class Connecttoget {
public static String callJson(Context context,String urlstring){
String data=null;
try {
URL url = new URL(urlstring);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
// Starts the query
conn.connect();
InputStream stream = conn.getInputStream();
data = convertStreamToString(stream);
stream.close();
}catch(SocketTimeoutException e){
CommonMethods.createAlert(context, "Sorry, network error", "");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return data;
}
static String convertStreamToString(java.io.InputStream is) {
java.util.Scanner s = new java.util.Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A");
return s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
}
}
Can you try the below code,if it helps.
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
URL url = null;
JSONObject object = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
try {
url = new URL(urlString.toString());
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
urlConnection.connect();
inStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream));
String temp, response = "";
while ((temp = bReader.readLine()) != null) {
response += temp;
}
object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(response).nextValue();
} catch (Exception e) {
this.mException = e;
} finally {
if (inStream != null) {
try {
// this will close the bReader as well
inStream.close();
} catch (IOException ignored) {
}
}
if (urlConnection != null) {
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
Try this code. This worked for me.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpConnectionParams;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpParams;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HTTP;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class ServerTest extends Activity {
private String TAG = "test";
private String url = "http://webkarinca.com/sample.json";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new Download().execute();
}
public class Download extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>{
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String out = null;
try {
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams httpParameters = httpClient.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, 15000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 15000);
HttpGet httpPost = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
out = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity, HTTP.UTF_8);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return out;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Log.e(TAG, result);
}
}
}
Also make sure you have added this to manifest,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
and also make sure you are connected to the internet.
