Android :: Can't Do A HTTP Post To A Web Service From My App
Sep 8, 2010
I've been working on an app that uses both GET and POST requests to Web Services. The GET requests are no problems but the POST requests are killing me. I've tried 2 different scenarios in the code. The first looks like this...
CODE:......
This code gets this result for me..."Bad Request (Invalid Header Name)"
Now here's my second piece of code...
CODE:.....
This gives me an entirely different result. It's a long garbled mess of xml and SOAP that does have a SOAP Exception mentioned in it..."Server was unable to process request. --- System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." Now, can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong.

GI am trying to do a http post to a php script. the method works if I place it in the onCreate event of the application but gets a ConnectionTimeOut error when it tries to execute it from the service.
Here is an example of my method
CODE:...................
I have no idea why the service would get a time out error but the application activity would not.

I have a pretty basic helper class that I'm using to do all my Http Get/Post stuff. I'm using HttpGet, HttpPost, and HttpClient from the org.apache.http library. All of my stuff works fine over HTTP, but as soon as I tried to consume a service that works over HTTPS, I get a ClientProtocolException when executing the request. The only message in the exception is "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response".
To test, I sent the exact same payload from a browser using a simple html form and Fiddler2 using the RequestBuilder. I've sent invalid and empty payloads and even sent all of the above with and without headers to see if there was something funky about the way the objects were building the request.
Everything I've used in testing gives me a valid 200 status HTTP response. The service just gives me a structure describing the error if I give it something other than what it expects.
Is there something special I need to add to the HttpPost or HttpClient object(s) to tell it to use HTTPS? Do I have to explicitly tell it to use a different port?
I indeed registered the wrong socket factory for https communication. Here is the updated method that I use to create my HttpClient object with the correct socket factory just in case someone searches this kind of problem in the future:

I am writing an application to upload a file from Android phone to a web server. I have tried the example from:
http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/doing-http-post-with-android
But it will only work for SDK 1.0 (why? Not Sure?).Can this be done for Android 2.1? Or is there any other method to load a file from Android to a webserver?

I would like to develop an application that uploads an image and some text data about that image.
To do that, I am trying to create a HTTP Multipart Post, as follows:
code:..........
My doubt is: how can I extract those values in the server? I would like to develop a Servlet to receive and process the post requests. In this Servlet I would need to extract these values in th request. Can you help me? Do you have any sample of server to answer the android multipart requests?

Let'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();}

Trying to figure what's wrong with my codings. I followed a blog post from here. I managed to get the codes to actually upload the file to a PHP web service. However, for some reason although I've set explicitly the MIME type for the file, PHP shows that the MIME is just a blank string and therefore rejected.

I am developing an Android app which enables the user to upload a file to services like Twitpic and others.
The POST upload is done without any external libraries and works just fine. My only problem is, that I can't grab any progress because all the uploading is done when I receive the response, not while writing the bytes into the outputstream.

I am new to Android development since my EVO purchase a few months ago. Anyway, I am developing my first Android app using Eclipse and Android SDK emulator. I am trying to do a simple HTTP POST. My real code has my login information hard coded in so I replaced it with test information and I changed the url as well to simply POST to google.com. I am getting a NullPointerException when trying to view the HTTP POST request response. I have added the internet permissions to my manifest xml file as well. Code...

Could someone please suggest me a good/efficient way to communicate with the server. I could think of two options 1) Use http post methods to send data to a php script at the server which would later call the google api's written in another java program (jar)or use php to use google api's (if its possible) to find nearby restaurants and send the list back to client. 2) Use simple java socket programming. The server has a jar file that supports multi threading and it does the job of finding restaurants and sending the list.

I'm doing a Get and Post method for an android project and I need to "translate" HttpClient 3.x to HttpClient 4.x (using by android).
My problem is that I'm not sure of what I have done and I don't find the "translation" of some methods...
This is the HttpClient 3.x I have done and (-->) the HttpClient 4.x "translation" if I have found it (Only parties who ask me problems) :
CODE:...........
I don't know if that is correct. This has caused problems because the packages are not named similarly, and some methods too. I just need documentation (I haven't found) and little help.

I am trying to upload a video to an api and I was wondering how you show a progress bar show and also dismiss it when an upload has finished? Also, while were at it, do you see anything wrong with my pattern.compile for my edit boxes?
Code:
public class Loadvid extends AsyncTask <Object,Integer,String>{
EditText etxt_user = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.user_email);
EditText etxt_pass = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.friend_email);
[code]...
But it doesn't work. When i click on the button to send, it shows the handler for 2 seconds then brings up an error close.Error log.

I am using a DefaultHttpClient and a ThreadSafeClientConnManager to share the httpClient across threads. That part is working well. However, when I execute an HttpPost in one thread, and call httpPost.abort() from another. It does not return immediately and continues blocking until the socket timeout is reached in most cases. Am I missing something else? I've tried using: connectionManager.closeIdleConnections(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); connectionManager.closeExpiredConnections();

Why can't I download a ZIP via HTTP post through the stock browser?
The problem is mostly described in the following article: [URL] .....
Basically I am currently working on an ASP.NET application that bundles bunch of files into a zip and pushes it back to the client via the response output stream.
Now this works fine in Firefox and in the ICS 4.0 stock browser, but doesn't work on the clients Galaxy Tab running Honeycomb 3.0. What happens is it appears to download the html of the page instead.

I am trying to post data to the Blob Store on google's app engine, this code runs without throwing any exceptions, but on the blobstore end there is no log on the post request at all. The server side stuff works when i post using a form (albeit with mime data). I have allowed my android app to use internet. This is a stab in the dark but if any of you folks might have had an issue like this before perhaps the problem i am having might ring a bell

I've been researching how to best implement a service which performs a network transaction and returns data to the caller.
Clearly, this needs to happen on its own thread which means some form of async response. I can see at least three ways of doing this--some more complex than others. In the descriptions below, C is the caller, S is the service.
1) C wraps a Handler in a Messenger object, adds this to an Intent. C then calls startService with this intent. S extends IntentService which runs the Intents received in a worker thread. S then sends a message to C via the Messenger. This has the benefit of not requiring any of the async binding process or making an IDL interface that needs to be compiled into C. This seems to be the closes to a Handler-based response mechanism of Local Services.
2) C binds to S and then uses AsyncTask<> to make a blocking call to S. S performs the network transaction and returns the data in the return value or an out parameter. This requires the async binding process, but does not require a callback function since the inter- thread communications is handled by AsyncTask<> and the worker thread is in C's context.
3) Make the function called in S be completely asynchronous. S defines two interfaces: IMyService and IMyServiceCallback. S implements IMyService.Stub. C implements IMyServiceCallback.Stub. C binds to S then calls S via IMyService, passing its IMyServiceCallback binder. S spins up a worker thread and returns immediately. S then calls the callback when it has completed the network transaction.
I am asking for advice on which methods are most appropriate. I do not need the the service running constantly, only when the web transaction is required. C does not use S all the time--definitely don't want to bind during C's onCreate. However, I would like the time from when C determines it needs to use S to getting the results back to be as quick as possible (i.e. adding minimal latency to the already latent network access).
Is there any preference to having the worker thread in C or in S? Are there any significant problems with option 1?

I have a Service for my Android app that performs HTTP calls. The Service stores cookies in a CookieStore. I am trying to find a way to persist the CookieStore but I haven't been successful. I don't want the user to log in every time to receive a new CookieStore.
I tried to use SharedPreferences to store the CookieStore as a string, but I can't re-construct the CookieStore with a String.
Has anyone else had success in persisting a CookieStore?

I'm confused why is my activity still lagging, I use remote service that has few methods and each has its own work like download stuff, process data, compare stuff, etc... It will run in background and update data at selected intervals and notify user of changes over notify system.
The reason why remote service, because I will eventually add a widget, and service needs to stay running even if android kills the activity, so I unbind it on each onPause().
But as far I understand that part doesn't cause my issue.
But back to my problem... so my is Activity still lagging when I run stuff in service and handler.post method.
here is the code...
Also I wanted to add progressDialog to be updated in updateLayer(...) through Activity is a listener to this service, but thats not working well. Whats the best way to update progressDialog? Ever listener, handler, intent, or what?
So how do I do this correctly?

I have a service running in the background.I have a background thread that gets a reference to the service from the application's main activity. But when the background thread calls a method in the service to display a toast, I get the "Looper not initialized exception".Why,if I have a valid, bound reference to a Service, does this still happen?
