Hello guys Here i am posting the method of calling the webservice in android using POST and GET method.
public class RestClient {
private ArrayList <NameValuePair> params;
private ArrayList <NameValuePair> headers;
private String url;
private int responseCode;
private String message;
private String response;
public String getResponse() {
return response;
}
public String getErrorMessage() {
return message;
}
public int getResponseCode() {
return responseCode;
}
public RestClient(String url)
{
this.url = url;
params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
headers = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
}
public void AddParam(String name, String value)
{
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(name, value));
}
public void AddHeader(String name, String value)
{
headers.add(new BasicNameValuePair(name, value));
}
public void Execute(RequestMethod method) throws Exception
{
switch(method) {
case GET:
{
//add parameters
String combinedParams = "";
if(!params.isEmpty()){
combinedParams += "?";
for(NameValuePair p : params)
{
String paramString = p.getName() + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(p.getValue(),”UTF-8″);
if(combinedParams.length() > 1)
{
combinedParams += "&" + paramString;
}
else
{
combinedParams += paramString;
}
}
}
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url + combinedParams);
//add headers
for(NameValuePair h : headers)
{
request.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
executeRequest(request, url);
break;
}
case POST:
{
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
//add headers
for(NameValuePair h : headers)
{
request.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
if(!params.isEmpty()){
request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, HTTP.UTF_8));
}
executeRequest(request, url);
break;
}
}
}
private void executeRequest(HttpUriRequest request, String url)
{
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse httpResponse;
try {
httpResponse = client.execute(request);
responseCode = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
message = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase();
HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
response = convertStreamToString(instream);
// Closing the input stream will trigger connection release
instream.close();
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
}
Now here is the calling example of the method.
client.AddParam("param1", "String of param1");
client.AddParam("param2", "String of param2");
client.AddParam("Email", email);
client.AddParam("Passwd", passcode);
try {
client.Execute(RequestMethod.POST); // OR GET
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String response = client.getResponse();
