Unable to get JSON data on HTTP Post request with username and password?

Question

Using get method it is working but when I tried Post method I am getting nothing. Please have a look at my code and let me know where or what I am doing wrong.
I have two parameters to pass username and password.

class AsyncT extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {


        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.105:8080/api/login");

        try {
            // Add your data
         List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "adii@adii.com"));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "password"));
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            httppost.setHeader("content-type", "application/json; charset= utf-8");
            httppost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            // Execute HTTP Post Request
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            is = entity.getContent();


        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        }

        try {
            BufferedReader reader = null;
            if (is != null) {
                reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                //"UTF-8"  "iso-8859-1"
                        is, "UTF-8"), 8);
            }
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            String line;
            if (reader != null) {
                while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line).append("\n");


                }
            }
            if (is != null) {
                is.close();

            }
            result = sb.toString();

            Log.e("sb",result);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
        }
        return null;
    }

}

Answer 1

I've no idea what is wrong with your code but you should try this code, it works perfectly here with me. Hope it helps you

public String ip = "192.168.43.114";
public String port = "59397";

public HttpPost httppost;
String ServerAddress;
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

JSONObject json = new JSONObject();

Try implementing your task in functions so it becomes reusable.

public int login(String username, String password)  {
        ServerAddress = "http://"+ip+":"+port+"/api/Users/Login";
        Log.v("check","inLoginMethod");
        try {

            json = new JSONObject();
            json.put("UserName", username);
            json.put("PassWord", password);

            AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> asynchTask;
            AsynchServerConnection asc = new AsynchServerConnection();
            asynchTask = asc.execute("");
            String res = asynchTask.get();
            Log.v("RES", res);

            //res = jsonObject.toString();
            //int check = Integer.parseInt(res);
            Log.i("checkR", res + "here");
            return res;

        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.i("checkR", "Interrupted exception");
            return 0;
        } catch (ExecutionException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.i("checkR", "ExecutionException");
            return 0;
        } 
        catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.i("checkR", "JSONException");
            Log.i("checkR", e.getMessage());
            return 0;
        }
}

and finally the async task class

private class AsynchServerConnection extends
            AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            super.onPostExecute(result);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            super.onProgressUpdate(values);
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            String result = null;
            try {
                 HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

                    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 3000); //Timeout Limit
                    HttpResponse response;


                    try {
                         HttpPost post = new HttpPost(ServerAddress);
                         Log.v(TAG, "server Addr: "+ServerAddress);

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

                        post.setEntity(se);
                        response = client.execute(post);

                        /*Checking response */
                        if(response!=null){

                            HttpEntity e = response.getEntity();
                            String r =EntityUtils.toString(e);
                            result = r;
                            Log.v("checkR", r);
                        }

                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        Log.v("check", "exception");
                        Log.v("check", e.getMessage());
                        //createDialog("Error", "Cannot Estabilish Connection");
                    }

                return result;

            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return result;
        }
    }

Now when you get the data, you'll need it to decode it from json format, Here is a sample class and a DECODEJSON function, try implementing it considering your own requirements

package com.example.aimalkhan.vegegardenandroidapp;

import org.json.JSONException;

    public String getPassword() {

    /*        public Users(String id,String type)

    public Users() {

    public void decodeJson(JSONObject json) {

        } catch (JSONException e) {

                Log.v("check123",arr[i].toString()+"           loop");
                plantsT.add(arr[i]);
//                plantsT.add(arr.toString());
            }


        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    }
}
    //

Let me know if the problem still persists.
