Is there a way to view the http response headers in an Activity once a web page has been loaded in a WebView? Seems like this should be possible, but I can't find any methods that expose the headers.

I have to access a web page from within my application and, in order to have access to it, I need to set some custom HTTP headers. I want to use the WebViewclass in my activity but, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to set custom HTTP headers.
So is there a way of using the existing web browser (or WebView) with custom HTTP headers? My application targets Android 1.6.
I am not sure how to send HTTP Auth headers.
I have the following HttpClient to get requests, but not sure how I can send requests? code...
I've found some information about this topic, but I was curious as to whether anyone has had any success loading webpages in a WebView with custom headers. There doesn't seem to be any simple way of doing this. I've seen an implementation that involved downloading the webpage and separately loading the data into the WebView. While this is not difficult, the WebView then demonstrated problems with relative URLs and downloading images.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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. Is there a way? Or could i use some other technique to do the post request and retrieve the url? 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 15 Replies View Relatedi'm sending an http request to the google reader api and getting an unusual response code. following the documentation, i've requested an auth code and included it in the header of every request. after performing the login, and getting an auth code, i tried accessing this url, which is part of the documentation: http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/stream/items/contents when i send the request, i get a 411 status code, which is supposed to mean "Length Required". the length, as i've found, is supposed to be the length, in octets, of the message body. there is no message body in this request. there is only a single header, the POST parameter i="item id" and the URL itself. i tried setting the "Content-Length" header to "0" and also to "-1" to no avail. what's really interesting is that this same code worked fine before google changed their authorization procedure. it's apparent they've changed something else. so my question is what EXACTLY would cause a 411 response code and how can i prevent it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I want to perform a quick HTTP post to a website within my android app. If I were to set up the http client and send the post all in the onCreate method of the main screen (inside the UI thread) just for testing purposes, what would I use to quickly see what the response is to the post? I tried something quick and dirty below inside the onCreate method when the app first opens and nothing really happens, is there something more I need to do/obviously my toast idea is just bad.
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=04419");
HttpResponse httpResp;
try {
httpResp = httpClient.execute(post);
StatusLine status = httpResp.getStatusLine();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), (CharSequence) status, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();}
I would like to know if there is anyway to debug the HTTP response with the android emulator. my logs show that the response is not arriving complete to the application and i would like to know if it is the server that does not send the complete response or if my application is not processing the response completely.
I tried hooking up Fiddler and Blurp proxy, it actually works with Blurp proxy but only for HTTP and as you may guess i need it also for HTTPS
Currently, I use a regular activity with some EditText fields as a registration screen in my application.The inputs are used to construct a soap message which is posted to the registration server, with the response being parsed to do some configuration of the application.I'd like to change this to have the registration page load in a WebView instance, so that the registration process takes place on an external web page.This would make it easier to make changes to the registration process without having to deploy a new build, as it would just be a matter of changing the web page that is loaded in the WebView.The question is would there be any way for me to get the response that is sent back from my registration server to the client? From what I can tell, if I went this route, there wouldn't be a way for me to parse the response like I currently do to initialize the application settings.

I am yet to get a device but working with the Simulator.I need feedbacks on the possible network problems I should handle. e.g.: 1. Do I need to discover the access points and dial one before connecting? 2. How can I know which services (Data/Data & Voice/Voice/No/Emergency etc.) current network is supporting? 3. Anything more to take care of?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've started to write an app which provides the user with an HTML form via a WebView. As the form is not under my control, the data filled in may be sent as either GET or POST request. My app is required to capture the transported form data, that is, get a hold on what was entered into the form fields. Using an adequate callback from WebViewClient such as onPageLoaded(), it is easy to capture form data from a GET request. However, I cannot find any appropriate method to allow the same for POSTed data, i.e., be able to access the HTTP POST message body containing the form data. Am I missing a relevant callback here or is there simply no way to accomplish the specified goal with the given API (even the latest level 8)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a website that makes use of OAM for single sign on (form-based authentication). When we submit credentials to WebGate / Access Server the authorization succeeds, however after the authentication is performed, the form action (as configured in the Authentication Scheme - with passthrough:no) returns a server error instead of redirecting to the originally requested URL.
If we use Mini Opera, we are able to get authenticated and forwarded properly.
This problem happens on numerous Android phones (versions ranging from 1.5-2.2), as well as the Emulator provided with the SDK.
This is proving to be a real problem as the default browser on Android phones is not able to get access to our sites(and this is the only browser that is having this problem).
I have created a WebView-based custom browser with the hope of seeing a client-side error and tried trapping every possible error....none show up....

The reason is to be able to take a quick look to all af them, avoiding wasting time of downloading when some friend has just the happy idea of sending you a heavy power point, or the pictures from your last party, or just simple spam.
I must say that there's another not less important reason: I don't have a 3G flat rate.

I thought about creating different views to add to the list? Is this the way to go?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to display a high score table in my application and wanted to know the Best Practice for displaying static headers or footers. The data for the High Score tableis a REST web service returing up to 100 JSON records. I have looked at some of the previous posts http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. that talk about addHeaderView() & addFooterView() but they all seem to indicate that the footer or header will scroll off the screen. My 1st question is has someone been able to implement this in a clean way to allow a basic static header or footer. My second question is is their another way I could accomplish my goal of displaying my high score table besides a List View. I will be displaying 6 columns of data which will need to scroll vertically.

The correct output should be:

So how can I make the section headers fixed after creating the headers? Why setViewBinder been called while scrolling?
