Null response from HTTP Post Request Android

问题:

I am trying to make a request to a server to a php script which will check to see if a user exists in a database. Currently I just want to make sure I am receiving some sort of response. I try to output the value of responseString when the user presses the login button but every time it comes back as null. Does anyone know why??

This is my MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

EditText username;
EditText password;
Button loginBtn;
LinearLayout loginform;
String passwordDetail;
String usernameDetail;
String url = "http://www.mysite.com/example/checklogin.php";

 String responseString = null;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    //Hide the Action Bar
    ActionBar ab;
    ab = this.getActionBar();
    ab.hide();

    //Get references to XML
    username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.username);
    password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.password);
    loginBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.loginBtn);
    loginform = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.loginform);

    //Animation
    final AlphaAnimation fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f , 1.0f ); 
    AlphaAnimation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation( 1.0f , 0.0f ) ; 
    fadeIn.setDuration(1200);
    fadeIn.setFillAfter(true);
    fadeOut.setDuration(1200);
    fadeOut.setFillAfter(true);
    fadeOut.setStartOffset(4200+fadeIn.getStartOffset());

    //Run thread after 2 seconds to start Animation
    Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable(){

        public void run() {
            //display login form
            loginform.startAnimation(fadeIn);
            loginBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    //display();
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Checking login details...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    if(checkLoginDetails()){
                        //OPENS NEW ACTIVITY
                        //Close splash screen
                        //finish();
                        //start home screen 
                        Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), SectionsActivity.class);
                        //startActivity(intent);
                        //creates fade in animation between two activities
                        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.splash_fade_out);
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Successful" + responseString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    }
                    else{
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Unsuccessful", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    }
                }
            });

        }

    }, 2000);
}

//Check the login details before proceeding.
public boolean checkLoginDetails(){
    usernameDetail = username.getText().toString();
    passwordDetail = password.getText().toString();
    new RequestTask().execute(url, usernameDetail, passwordDetail);
    return true;
}

This is the php script I'm requesting - At moment I've hard coded details I know to exist in db and just want to focus on getting back a response to say user exists.

    <?php
mysql_connect("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", "username", "password") or die("Couldn't select database.");
mysql_select_db("databasename") or die("Couldn't select database.");

//$username = $_POST['username'];
//$password = $_POST['password'];

$pwdMD5 = md5(123);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM membership WHERE Username = 'user1' AND Password = '$pwdMD5' ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($numrows > 0)
   {
    echo 'user found';
    return true;
   }
else
   {
    echo 'user not found';
    return false;

}
   ?>

This is my AsyncTask.

 class RequestTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... uri) {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response;
        responseString = null;
        try {
            response = httpclient.execute(new HttpPost(uri[0]));
            StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
            if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
                ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
                out.close();
                responseString = out.toString();
            } else{
                //Closes the connection.
                response.getEntity().getContent().close();
                throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
            }
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            //TODO Handle problems..
        } catch (IOException e) {
            //TODO Handle problems..
        }
        return responseString;
    }

回答1:

It is null because you execute the code asynchronously. You Toast the result while the HTTP request is not yet finished executing your PHP script.

Try putting your Toast to onPostExecute(String result) method in your AsyncTask class.

@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        //Toast result. 
    }

You are not getting something from the respose but putting in it... use ByteArrayInputStream instead of output stream.....
