Sending POST data in Android

Question

I'm experienced with PHP, JavaScript and a lot of other scripting languages, but I don't have a lot of experience with Java or Android.

I'm looking for a way to send POST data to a PHP script and display the result.

Answer 1

By this way we can send data with http post method and get result

     public class MyHttpPostProjectActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    private EditText usernameEditText;
    private EditText passwordEditText;
    private Button sendPostReqButton;
    private Button clearButton;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.login);

        usernameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.login_username_editText);
        passwordEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.login_password_editText);

        sendPostReqButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_sendPostReq_button);
        sendPostReqButton.setOnClickListener(this);

        clearButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_clear_button);
        clearButton.setOnClickListener(this);        
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if(v.getId() == R.id.login_clear_button){
            usernameEditText.setText("");
            passwordEditText.setText("");
            passwordEditText.setCursorVisible(false);
            passwordEditText.setFocusable(false);
            usernameEditText.setCursorVisible(true);
            passwordEditText.setFocusable(true);
        }else if(v.getId() == R.id.login_sendPostReq_button){
            String givenUsername = usernameEditText.getEditableText().toString();
            String givenPassword = passwordEditText.getEditableText().toString();

            System.out.println("Given username :" + givenUsername + " Given password :" + givenPassword);

            sendPostRequest(givenUsername, givenPassword);
        }   
    }

    private void sendPostRequest(String givenUsername, String givenPassword) {

        class SendPostReqAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

                String paramUsername = params[0];
                String paramPassword = params[1];

                System.out.println("*** doInBackground ** paramUsername " + paramUsername + " paramPassword :" + paramPassword);

                HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

                // In a POST request, we don't pass the values in the URL.
                //Therefore we use only the web page URL as the parameter of the HttpPost argument
                HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://www.nirmana.lk/hec/android/postLogin.php");

                // Because we are not passing values over the URL, we should have a mechanism to pass the values that can be
                //uniquely separate by the other end.
                //To achieve that we use BasicNameValuePair             
                //Things we need to pass with the POST request
                BasicNameValuePair usernameBasicNameValuePair = new BasicNameValuePair("paramUsername", paramUsername);
                BasicNameValuePair passwordBasicNameValuePAir = new BasicNameValuePair("paramPassword", paramPassword);

                // We add the content that we want to pass with the POST request to as name-value pairs
                //Now we put those sending details to an ArrayList with type safe of NameValuePair
                List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairList = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                nameValuePairList.add(usernameBasicNameValuePair);
                nameValuePairList.add(passwordBasicNameValuePAir);

                try {
                    // UrlEncodedFormEntity is an entity composed of a list of url-encoded pairs. 
                    //This is typically useful while sending an HTTP POST request. 
                    UrlEncodedFormEntity urlEncodedFormEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairList);

                    // setEntity() hands the entity (here it is urlEncodedFormEntity) to the request.
                    httpPost.setEntity(urlEncodedFormEntity);

                    try {
                        // HttpResponse is an interface just like HttpPost.
                        //Therefore we can't initialize them
                        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

                        // According to the JAVA API, InputStream constructor do nothing. 
                        //So we can't initialize InputStream although it is not an interface
                        InputStream inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();

                        InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);

                        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);

                        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

                        String bufferedStrChunk = null;

                        while((bufferedStrChunk = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){
                            stringBuilder.append(bufferedStrChunk);
                        }

                        return stringBuilder.toString();

                    } catch (ClientProtocolException cpe) {
                        System.out.println("First Exception caz of HttpResponese :" + cpe);
                        cpe.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException ioe) {
                        System.out.println("Second Exception caz of HttpResponse :" + ioe);

        sendPostReqAsyncTask.execute(givenUsername, givenPassword);

}

Answer 2

to @primpop answer I would add how to convert the response in a String:

HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
    InputStream instream = entity.getContent();

    String result = RestClient.convertStreamToString(instream);
    Log.i("Read from server", result);
}

Here is an example of convertStramToString.

Answer 3

For me works next :

 private sendData() {
     JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
     jsonObject.accumulate("key1", value1);
     jsonObject.accumulate("key2", value2);

     boolean success = sendPost(SERVER_URL + "/v1/auth", jsonObject);
 }

 private boolean sendPost(String url, JSONObject parameters) {
        boolean requestResult = false;
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        String result = "";
        try {

            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

            String json = "";

            json = parameters.toString();

            StringEntity se = new StringEntity(json);
            httpPost.setEntity(se);

            httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

            HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(httpPost);

            inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();

            if (inputStream != null) {
                result = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
                requestResult = true;
            } else {
                result = "Did not work!";
                requestResult = false;
            }
            System.out.println(result);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("InputStream", e.getLocalizedMessage());
            requestResult = false;
        }
        return requestResult;
    }

Answer 4

for Android 6 & 5

The org.apache.http classes and the AndroidHttpClient class have been deprecated in Android 5.1. These classes are no longer being maintained and you should migrate any app code using these APIs to the URLConnection classes as soon as possible.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.1.html#http

Thought of sharing my code using HttpUrlConnection

public String  performPostCall(String requestURL,
        HashMap<String, String> postDataParams) {

    URL url;
    String response = "";
    try {
        url = new URL(requestURL);

        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setReadTimeout(15000);
        conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        conn.setDoOutput(true);


        OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(
                new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
        writer.write(getPostDataString(postDataParams));

        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        os.close();
        int responseCode=conn.getResponseCode();

        if (responseCode == HttpsURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
            String line;
            BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            while ((line=br.readLine()) != null) {
                response+=line;
            }
        }
        else {
            response="";    

        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return response;
}

...

private String getPostDataString(HashMap<String, String> params) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        boolean first = true;
        for(Map.Entry<String, String> entry : params.entrySet()){
            if (first)
                first = false;
            else
                result.append("&");

            result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
            result.append("=");
            result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue(), "UTF-8"));
        }

        return result.toString();
    }

also you can Post method :

conn.setRequestMethod("POST");

UPDATE 24/08/2016

Use some best library , such as :

• Retrofit
• Volley

because :

• Avoid HttpUrlConnection and HttpClient

On lower API levels (mostly on Gingerbread and Froyo), HttpUrlConnection and HttpClient are far from being perfect

• And Avoid AsyncTask Too
• They are Much Faster
• They Caches Everything

Since the introduction of Honeycomb (API 11), it's been mandatory to perform network operations on a separate thread, different from the main thread

Older Answer

Note: This solution is outdated. It only works on Android devices up to 5.1. Android 6.0 and above do not include the Apache http client used in this answer.

Http Client from Apache Commons is the way to go. It is already included in android. Here's a simple example of how to do HTTP Post using it.

public void postData() {
    // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");

    try {
        // Add your data
        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Hi"));
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

        // Execute HTTP Post Request
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    }
}
