i'm using Spring in Android to make a POST call when the error from above pop up. i saw all the answers regards this issue, but in all of them they seem to have arrays or lists in the object they want to transform to JSON. Mine's is very simple:
public class Detection {
private String vehicleId;
private String historyDate;
private double lat;
private double lon;
private double speed;
private double accuracy;
private double bearing;
public Getters/Setters..
public Detection(String vehicleId,String historyDate, double lat,double lon,double speed,double accuracy,double bearing) {
this.vehicleId=vehicleId;
this.historyDate=historyDate;
this.lat=lat;
this.lon=lon;
this.speed=speed;
this.accuracy=accuracy;
this.bearing=bearing;
}
}
Here is the POST call from an asynchronous task:
class postTask extends AsyncTask<Detection,Void,Void>{
@Override protected void onPreExecute() {
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Detection... params) {
try{
// Set the Content-Type header
HttpHeaders requestHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
requestHeaders.setContentType(new MediaType("application","json"));
HttpEntity<Detection> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<Detection>(params[0], requestHeaders);
// Create a new RestTemplate instance
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
// Add the Jackson and String message converters
restTemplate.getMessageConverters().add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
restTemplate.getMessageConverters().add(new StringHttpMessageConverter());
// Make the HTTP POST request, marshaling the request to JSON, and the response to a String
ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange("http://wsonline.pladema.net/Monitores.WS/api/androids", HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, String.class);
String result = responseEntity.getBody();
}
catch (Exception e){
Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage(), e);
}
return null;
}
}
the Debug breaks at the restTemplate.exchange() method and already check the parameter is not null. This is the error message
