MV2002 Android HttpUrlConnection
|
As a replacement to HTTP Client, we can use HttpUrlConnection.
Android blog says…
For Gingerbread and better, HttpURLConnection is the best choice. Its simple API and small size makes it great fit for Android. Transparent compression and response caching reduce network use, improve speed and save battery. New applications should useHttpURLConnection; it is where we will be spending our energy going forward.
In this tutorial, we will replace HTTP Client library with HttpURLConnection and change
List < NameValuePair > to HashMap<String, String>.
If you do not understand WEB REST API and Android HTTP Request, read the beginning of this tutorial at http://android-steps.blogspot.my/2015/06/mv101-create-web-api-for-online.html .

0) Starting Up
Download Project Template and import to your Android IDE.
1) Edit JSONParser Class
File: JSONParser.java
package com.example.myvolunteers200;
import android.util.Log;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class JSONParser {
String charset = "UTF-8";
HttpURLConnection conn;
DataOutputStream wr;
StringBuilder result;
URL urlObj;
JSONObject jObj = null;
StringBuilder sbParams;
String paramsString;
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
HashMap<String, String> params) {
sbParams = new StringBuilder();
int i = 0;
for (String key : params.keySet()) {
try {
if (i != 0){
sbParams.append("&");
}
sbParams.append(key).append("=")
.append(URLEncoder.encode(params.get(key), charset));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
i++;
}
if (method.equals("POST")) {
// request method is POST
try {
urlObj = new URL(url);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
conn.setReadTimeout(10000);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.connect();
paramsString = sbParams.toString();
wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes(paramsString);
wr.flush();
wr.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else if(method.equals("GET")){
// request method is GET
if (sbParams.length() != 0) {
url += "?" + sbParams.toString();
}
try {
urlObj = new URL(url);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(false);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.connect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
try {
//Receive the response from the server
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
Log.d("JSON Parser", "result: " + result.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
conn.disconnect();
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(result.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON Object
return jObj;
}
}

2) Update Controller Files

to
HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
