Sending array from android to php. $_POST shows Array() string

Question

Call from android is as follows

CallWebServiceTask task = new CallWebServiceTask(6, this,
                "Fetching Data From Server");
        int key = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < localIds.size(); i++) {
           key = localIds.keyAt(i);
           // get the object by the key.
           task.addNameValuePair("ids", ""+key);
        }

        task.execute(url);

This one will add a list of ids to the key ids.

On my php when I do, print_r($_POST); it returns just Array() as a string.

How, do I extract the array values in php in an array. Thanks.

Just encode your array as a JSONArray and post it to your PHP server, much easier to work with this way.

CallWebServiceTask task = new CallWebServiceTask(6, this,
                "Fetching Data From Server");
task.addNameValuePair("ids", new JSONArray(localIds));
task.execute(url);

How exactly? Shall I not use name value pair?

meda Over a year ago

Yes use it , get rid of the loop because you are overwriting the post keys

Kraken Over a year ago

So you want me to send {id1 : 1, id2 : 2, id3 : 3} instead of {ids : 1,2,3}?

meda Over a year ago

depends or like this { "ids" : [ 1, 2, 3] } , but most importantly send it as JSON

But the way, I've done it, it should go as a json right? And the json should look exactly like ^the one mentioned in your comment. Or am I getting something wrong here.
