I am using org.apache.http.*; API's to make HTTP Post Connections over Internet from the Android Application. I added the Internet Permissions in the Manifest file and it works fine. Now i want my application to make the same HTTP requests over WiFi network through which the handset is connected.
Do i need to make code changes to achieve this? Do i need to add some permissions? as i am unable to make requests...

is there a way to force a connection (http) to go over OTA (Over-The- Air) even if you have a wifi connection?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I am a newbie in android and i had a question whether i should use a service or thread for http connection and what will be the advantage of using a service over a thread or viceversa. Please help me out with this.
View 13 Replies View RelatedDo you know how to set Content-Type on HttpURLConnection? Following code is on Blackberry and I want the Android equivalent:

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).

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?

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are designing a system with a PC base station and 100 Android mobiles communicating over WiFi. They will use XLM-RPC as the method of mobile to base station communication. However, sometimes the base station needs to broadcast a message to all mobiles. Should we use "http server push" for this, i.e., have the base station leave the connections open to all the mobiles? Is there a better way? Publish-subscribe is possible, but doesn't seem mature on Android yet.

WiFi sees the network, says "Connecting", comes up "Failed to connect", "Scanning" and loops on that sequence. I know the router's working because this laptop is using it right now
I want to make http connection which ensures that it is done through wifi only,so that I can not be charged for the transfer of packet from GPRS or 3G network.
It means what ever the connection available I can use only wifi that I want to ensure through Application itself.
I am writing an application which checks the security protocol of the phone's wifi connection. Between the phone and AP, they may use 'wpa', 'wpa2', 'wep' or unprotected 'open' connections. how to get such information?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe live in the sticks and we get a bit of a G connection here, maybe 1 bar if we are lucky.
What I've found is that my samsung galaxy S with android 2.1 uses the G connection no matter how bad it is despite a perfectly good wifi connection here.
It's only if the G cononection completely drops and the red no entry sign appears to show us that the carrier isn't available at all that suddenly the phone uses wifi.
Is there a way to change the provider order so that the phone will use wifi before g/3g ?

What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue. But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!
I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...
Another (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.

I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.
I'm developing a C++ application for the android that needs to talk with a server whenever there is an internet connection available. If the internet connection is cut-off the application needs to "sleep" in order to reduce the battery consumption. If the internet connection is back the application should "awake". I'm searching for any kind of event notification available for C++. I don't want to use pooling. I know that in java we receive these notifications from the connectivity service.Can we trap them natively?
