Android HttpURLConnection with json string

Question

I want to call the following URL:

http://192.168.0.196:8080/openapi/localuser/set?{"syskey":"1234","usrname":"256","usrpwd":"556"}

Use this address to add a new user to the database. To do this I use HttpURLConnection in my AsyncTask class

try {

                URL myUrl = new URL(params[0]);
                HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) myUrl.openConnection();
                conn.setReadTimeout(10000 );
                conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
                conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
                conn.setDoInput(true);
                // Starts the query
                conn.connect();
                int response = conn.getResponseCode();

                Log.d("lab", "The response is: " + response);

                statusMap.put("addUser", Integer.toString(response));

                Log.d("lab", "URL: " + params[0]);

            }catch (Exception e){
                Log.d("lab", "Error2: " + e.getMessage());
            }

params[0] = http://192.168.0.196:8080/openapi/localuser/set?{"syskey":"1234","usrname":"256","usrpwd":"556"}

Unfortunately, this call is not working. I do not get the error. catch returns null

From your param link, I think you only need conn.setRequestMethod("GET"); and don't need conn.setDoInput(true);. Beside of that, you should use "Log.getStackTraceString(e)" instead of e.getMessage() then add the logcat here. — justHooman

When I remove conn.setDoInput(true) my code is working. Thanks! — lukassz

Try like this way. You need to add few line in your code.

public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String requestURL, JSONObject register) {

        try {

            url = new URL(requestURL);

            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

            connection.setReadTimeout(150000);
            connection.setConnectTimeout(150000);

            connection.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
            connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
            connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8");
            connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
            connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");
            connection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(register.toString().getBytes().length);
            connection.setDoInput(true);
            connection.setDoOutput(true);
            OutputStreamWriter outputStream = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());

            outputStream.write(register.toString());

            outputStream.flush();

            Log.e("URL", connection.getURL().toString());
            Log.e("JSONObject", register.toString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("MAIN Exception", e.toString());
        }
        try {

            int statuscode = connection.getResponseCode();

            if (statuscode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                is = connection.getInputStream();
            } else {

            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("IOException", e.toString());
        }

        try {

            rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

            response = new StringBuffer();

            while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                response.append(line);
                response.append('\n');
            }
            Log.e("Response", response.toString() + " ");

            rd.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("BUFFER_READER", e.toString());
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            Log.e("NullPointerException", e.toString());
        } finally {
            connection.disconnect();
        }

        try {


            return new JSONObject(response.toString());
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("JSONException", e.toString());

        }
        return null;
    }

Also You are using localHost you must have emulator which can connect to localhost. Unless it will not going to work on any device.

try this :

 private String post(String url) throws JSONException {
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
    try {
        String query = "";
        String EQ = ":";
        String AMP = "&";
        for (NameValuePair param : parameters) {
            query = json.put(param.getName(), param.getValue()) + ",";

        }

        // url+= "?" + query;
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);

        if (parameters != null) {

            StringEntity se = new StringEntity(query.toString());
            se.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,
                    "application/json"));

            post.setEntity(se);

            Log.d("POSTQuery", url + parameters);
        }

        HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
        StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
        Log.d("Status Code", "" + statusLine.getStatusCode());
        if (statusLine.getStatusCode() == 200) {
            return StringifyResponse(response);
        }

        Log.d("POSTQuery", url);

        // Log.d("response", response.toString());
        return StringifyResponse(response);

    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("response", e.toString());
        return "IOException";
    }

    return null;
}

HttpClient is deprecated now. You shouldn't use it.

Elmira Frhn Over a year ago

yeah,you are right @Minhtdh as Android developer mentioned here ,It's deprecated from API level 22.

You need to format all url querystring and then use outputwriter to flush the data :

// Create data variable for sent values to server  

        String data = URLEncoder.encode("syskey", "UTF-8") 
                     + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("1234", "UTF-8"); 

        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("usrname", "UTF-8") + "="
                    + URLEncoder.encode("256", "UTF-8"); 

        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("usrpwd", "UTF-8") 
                    + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("556", "UTF-8");

and then flush the data:

        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); 
        conn.setDoOutput(true); 
        OutputStreamWriter wr = new  OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream()); 
        wr.write( data ); 
        wr.flush();
