so the NetBeans IDE can generate RESTful Web Service from database (the table has been packed into an entity class). I followed this tutorial and the RESTful Web Service has been generated successfully.
Now, I would like to call from my Android app, but no luck so far. I used "Android Asynchronous Http Client A Callback-Based Http Client Library for Android"
So here is my code snippet:
customActionBarView.findViewById(R.id.actionbar_done).setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// "Done"
String id = generateId();
EditText number = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.caller_phone_number);
EditText information = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.caller_information);
checkAvailability(id, number.getText().toString(), information.getText().toString());
finish();
}
});
and this:
public void processWebServices(RequestParams params) {
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.post("http://localhost:8080/AndroidRESTful/com.erikchenmelbourne.entities.caller/create", params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] response) {
try {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response.toString());
if (obj.getBoolean("status")) {
setDefaultValues();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Information has been sent!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), obj.getString("error_msg"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Error Occured [Server's JSON response is invalid]!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onFailure(int i, Header[] headers, byte[] bytes, Throwable throwable) {
if (i == 404) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Requested resource not found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else if (i == 500) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Something went wrong at server end", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Unexpected Error occcured! [Most common Error: Device might not be connected to Internet or remote server is not up and running]", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
and here is NetBeans IDE generated POST method:
@Path("/create")
@POST
@Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public void create(@QueryParam("id") int id, @QueryParam("number") String number, @QueryParam("information") String information) {
Caller entity = new Caller (id, number, information);
super.create(entity);
}
I added the @Path("/create") annotation and modified the method a bit.
Please shed some light, I am fairly new to this so I don't have a clue. I know it is due to some very silly mistakes but please help. The program stops at
"Unexpected Error occcured! [Most common Error: Device might not be connected to Internet or remote server is not up and running]"
. So obvious I couldn't connect the two programs well.
