Android :: Retrying Http Connection

Oct 14, 2010

I'm making an http request. I'm on a platform (android) where network operations often fail because the network connection might not be immediately available. Therefore I'd like to try the same connection N times before completely failing. Was thinking of something like this:

DefaultHttpClient mHttp = ...;
public HttpResponse runHttpRequest(HttpRequestBase httpRequest)
throws IOException
IOException last = null;
for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 3; attempt++) {
try {
HttpResponse response = mHttpClient.execute(httpRequest);
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
return response }
} catch (IOException e) {
httpRequest.abort();
last = e;
throw last;

I'm mostly worried about the connection being in some state which is invalid on subsequent retries. In other words, do I need to completely recreate 'httpRequest', should I avoid calling httpRequest.abort() in the catch block, and only call it in the final failure?

Android :: How Http URL Connection Work?

Jan 18, 2010

I need to send asynchronous calls to the server. During network connection this works fine. How ever if i disable my LAN from Network connections android will through a socket exception after the specified timeout for that particular call. Now the issue that i face is the time out happens in a synchronous manner. Though both the calls has been started in a thread the timeout is not happening at the same time. If i keep the timeout as 20sec i am getting a socket exception for the first call after 20 sec and after the next 20 sec i get the timeout for the next call. Why is this happening..? I am not opening two connections asynchronously in this case. I am attaching a sample code that can replicate the above scenario. Code...

Android :: Way To Make HTTP Connection Using GSM Network?

Sep 29, 2010

I need to make HTTP request on Android using GSM connection, not Wifi. My current solution is to disconnect from all wi-fi connections and perform a request. Is there any better solution? I could not find any relevant methods in the API (I looked in package org.apache.http, but it seems it is completely unaware of what type of connection should be used).

Android :: Http Chunked Response - Connection Reset

Sep 6, 2010

I'm facing an annoying problem here. My application is connected to a server that sends some data from time to time. It's some kind of eventing server. In order to receive data, I'm connecting to the server with an HttpURLConnection, retrieve the response InputStream and loop on it with the read method. The connection is always open. The distant server is cutting the connection every 5 minutes (for test purpose). When connection is closed, my application has to reconnect again. We detect a Connection Reset by Peer exception when the server closes the connection. The problem is that most of the time, I never receive the Connection Reset by Peer exception. So my application can't know that is has to reconnect and it's stucked on the read instruction. The InputStream.Read() method shouldn't always raise an exception if the connection is closed? What can I do to always detect Connection Reset by Peer exception?

Android :: Messages Failing To Send And Not Automatically Retrying?

Oct 5, 2010

I love Handcent but this inability to resend automatically is killing me. I don't have good signal at home (basement flat), so I often send a message and then just wait for the signal to drift in, so it sends. My old blackberry or Nokia had no problems with this. Handcent doesn't handle it well. it either gets stuck with the little whirling whindmill thing and never sends, or it comes up with the red X and the process stalls. I actually prefer the red X, as at least that enables a quick "retry". but it seems to be totally random whether it gets stuck or fails to send. Why oh why is such a simple feature not bug-free in an app like Handcent that is so popular and has been around for some time now?

Android :: Handcent - Retrying Sending Text Messages In Poor Signal Area

Feb 12, 2010

I get a poor signal at home (did on my Nokia), so half the time when I send a text, there won't be a signal to send it. I always then go and put my phone in a place where there is a signal and leave it..
With my Nokias, the phone would send it fairly quickly (usually within 10-15 minutes).

The message is still sat in Handcent with the whirling round icon next to it. If I copy the message, and resend it, whilst there's a signal, away it goes. I can't find any way to force the send when I want, and I left the resend in a signal area for 1hr 15 mins and it still hadn't sent..

Android :: Cancel/abort Connection From ThreadSafeClientConnManager Connection Pool

Oct 14, 2009

I'm using ThreadSafeClientConnManager to manage a pool of client connections, because my application has several threads, which are simultaneously connecting to a webserver.

Abstract sample code:

CODE:..............

Now lets say on of this threads is downloading a large file, but then the user of my application is switching to another activity/screen. Therefor the file is needless and I'd like to abort this download connection.

In ThreadSafeClientConnManager I found this method: public ClientConnectionRequest requestConnection (HttpRoute route, Object state) Returns a new ClientConnectionRequest, from which a ManagedClientConnection can be obtained or the request can be aborted.

So far I've been using:

CODE:.........

Now from what I understand, I've to use:

httpclient.getConnectionManager().requestConnection(HttpRoute route, Object state);

And that's the point where I'm stuck. I assume that for the route I can just use new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("10.0.0.1")) or whatever my server is, but what to put in for Object state?

And second, as soon as I've the ClientConnectionManager I can call getConnection(long timeout, TimeUnit tunit). But then from there, how I do I execute my HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(URL_TO_FILE); as I did before with HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);?

I've been gone through the documentation and tried out quite a few different things, but I wasn't able to obtain a working solution. Therefor any suggestions and/or code examples are more than welcome.

Android :: Keep FTP Connection - Or Any Connection Object - Alive Between Activities

Oct 27, 2010

I'm coding a very basic FTP client on top of my application and I have 2 activities. The first one is the file explorer and the second one is the image viewer. Once I click on the image filename on the explorer, I want to pass the connection to the other activity to handle extra stuff. Basically, I want to keep the same org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient object (which handles the connection) alive in-between the 2 activities. I know I can't pass an object inside an intent so I don't know what my best bets are.

Samsung I7500 :: Wifi Connection Lost After Screen Lock And Can't Regain Connection After Unlock

If my screen locks while I have a wifi connection, then the connection is lost when I unlock the phone.First, is this perhaps deliberate, to save power? Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

Android :: Getting Url Of Http Response?

Apr 6, 2010

I have a problem. I'm doing a http post request to a URL like this; DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); I am able to get the response content (html in this case) but I would like to be able to get the url of the response.

The repsonse url is lke www.url.com?x=1&y=2 and would like to get the parameter values, I've tried to use the getParams().getParameter() on the HttpResponse object without any success. So if anyone has a solution to get the parameters without getting the url.

Trying to use the jar that comes with android only resolves in Exceptions... But most of the tests won't need running them in the emulator all the time just because I use some apache libraries or do they?
