i have c# program running on my pc listenning http requests and i try to make an application which gets a file from my pc via HttpGet.
new HttpGet(url + filepath);
the file is in the same directory and the path is C://Users/abc/def/test.txt
but if i write this to filepath i can not get the file. what should i write to filepath?
Thanks in advance
You need to create an AsyncTask to do your request 'cause since Android Honeycomb, you cannot add a network request on the main thread.
Here is an example :
private class HttpGetter extends AsyncTask<URL, Void, Void> {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(URL... urls) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(urls[0]);
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpGet);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream content = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(content));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
Log.v("Getter", "Your data: " + builder.toString()); //response data
} else {
Log.e("Getter", "Failed to download file");
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
HttpGetter get = new HttpGetter();
get.execute("http://192.168.1.2/song.mp3");
