I need to consume a SOAP web service using Android.
The issue is that before request for a particular function I need to authenticate a client using basic http request.
Do you know how to do this using KSOAP?
Until this moment I have tried using overloaded method of httpsTransportSE.call() as it suggest that I can specify additional headers for http connection
(ref:
https://github.com/mosabua/ksoap2-android/blob/master/ksoap2-j2se/src/main/java/org/ksoap2/transport/HttpTransportSE.java)
headerPropertyList.add(new HeaderProperty("Authorization", "Basic : dXNlcjpwYXNz"));
"cdXNlcjpwYXNz" is base 64 encoded string of "user:pass"
public List call(String soapAction, SoapEnvelope envelope, List headers)
* @param headers a list of HeaderProperties to be http header properties when establishing the connection
private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "someaddress/IPortReporting/GetPortStatus";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "methodname";
private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://ssn.someaddress/2.0/";
private static final String URL = "new.someaddress/functionName.svc";
SoapObject Request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
Request.addProperty("MessageId", "1");
SoapSerializationEnvelope soapEnvelop = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
11);
//soapEnvelop.headerOut = addHeaders();
soapEnvelop.dotNet = true;
soapEnvelop.setOutputSoapObject(Request);
List<HeaderProperty> headerPropertieList = new ArrayList<HeaderProperty>();
headerPropertyList.add(new HeaderProperty("Authorization", "Basic : cG9ydHdzOjEyM3F3ZUFTRA=="));
//HeaderProperty headerProperty = new HeaderProperty()
HttpsTransportSE httpsse = new HttpsTransportSE(URL, 443, "", 5000);
try {
httpsse.call(SOAP_ACTION, soapEnvelop, headerPropertyList);
//httpsse.call(SOAP_ACTION, soapEnvelop);
SoapPrimitive resultString = (SoapPrimitive) soapEnvelop
.getResponse();
tv.setText("Status: ");
} catch (Exception e) {
tv.setText("Some error," + " "
+ e.getMessage());
}
But I have message "permission denied" reported back.
Try this. This worked for me, consuming .Net service from android application. I have used ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.8-jar-with-dependencies.jar
String NAMESPACE = "http://www.namespace.com/";
String METHOD_NAME = "MethodName";
String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.namespace.com/MethodName";
String URL = "https://www.namespace.com/services/Service.asmx";
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
// Set all input params
request.addProperty("property", "value");
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
// Enable the below property if consuming .Net service
envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try
{
List<HeaderProperty> headerList = new ArrayList<HeaderProperty>();
headerList.add(new HeaderProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + org.kobjects.base64.Base64.encode("username:password".getBytes())));
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope, headerList);
SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();
//response.getProperty(0).toString();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
At the linked question to this one, the second arg of the HeaderProperty does not have a colon in it - it would be "Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz" - maybe that's the problem? (Which one is correct?)
See this. I have implemented a simple code that calls a local SOAP web service(.asmx) from Android application.
It is a simple web service to authenticate user using username and password.
Hope that helps
Cheers
You most probably need to include the following in your Android manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Have you tried HttpTranspostBasicAuth?
Here is the reference information:
http://ksoap2.sourceforge.net/doc/api/org/ksoap2/transport/HttpTransportBasicAuth.html
THIS WORK only https://stackoverflow.com/a/5614243/7198554
....
soapEnvelope.headerOut = new Element[1];
this - > SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope
NAMESPACE this -> http://tempuri.org/
my code=>
public Element buildAuthHeader() {
Element h = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "AuthHeader");
Element username = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "Username");
username.addChild(Node.TEXT, "test");
h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, username);
// Element pass = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "pass");
// pass.addChild(Node.TEXT, pass);
// h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, pass);
return h;
In VS C#
public class AuthHeader : SoapHeader
{
public string Username;
//public string Password;
}
