How to send Body Data to GET Method Request android

Question

like this, I want to send json body request to GET API

tried this but not worked

 public static void getQuestionsListApi2(final String requestId, final String timestamp,
                                        final ImageProcessingCallback.downloadQuestionsCallbacks callback,
                                        final Context context) {

    try {
       String url = NetUrls.downloadQuestions;

        final JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
        jsonBody.put("requestId", requestId);
        jsonBody.put("timestamp", timestamp);
        final String mRequestBody = jsonBody.toString();
        Log.i("params", String.valueOf(jsonBody));
        Log.i("URL", url);
        JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, **jsonBody**, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(JSONObject jsonObject) {
                Log.v("TAG", "Success " + jsonObject);
                callback.downloadQuestionsCallbacksSuccess(jsonObject.toString());
            }

        }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError volleyError) {
                Log.v("TAG", "ERROR " + volleyError.toString());
            }


        });

        request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS * 0,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));

        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        queue.add(request);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}


        request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS * 0,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));


        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        queue.add(request);

Here Is the Code that i am using when sending JSONRequest with GET Method i am getting 400 error response from server and server not except the the data in the url form . I am sending The jsonBody object as parameter. any solution.

If you want to pass Json data in body of GET request, you have to use Query annotation

Call<YourNodelClass> getSomeDetails(@Query("threaded") String threaded, @Query("limit") int limit);

this will pass as Json object {"threaded": "val", "limit": 3}.

i have tried and this one is only working code.

Well, I think this isn't the correct solution because the server will get the data in `query` not in `body`. – c-an Mar 11 '20 at 08:55
you think and i have tried. please check it will surely work. – Avinash Ajay Pandey Mar 12 '20 at 10:02

You can use retrofit to send request with body. http://square.github.io/retrofit/

It is easy to use library, example:

@GET("[url node]")
Single<Response<ResponseBody>> doSmt(@Header("Authorization") String token, @Body ListRequest name);

Also, take a look here about get methods with body HTTP GET with request body

UPDATE

GET method with request body is optional here. However, this RFC7231 document says,

sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.

which means this isn't recommended. Use POST method to use request body.

Check this table from wikipedia.

I am using Volley Library for now so there is any method in volley to achieve this. – Kumar Jadhav May 08 '18 at 09:31
This is not the solution. GET annotation can't use with Body annotation in retrofit. – c-an Mar 11 '20 at 08:19

Try this code..

Add below dependency into app level gradle file.

    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.4.1'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.3.0'

then after make below all seperate class

First Retrofit object create class like below ..

public class ApiClient {
private final static String BASE_URL = "https://dog.ceo/api/breed/";

public static ApiClient apiClient;
private Retrofit retrofit = null;
private Retrofit retrofit2 = null;

public static ApiClient getInstance() {
    if (apiClient == null) {
        apiClient = new ApiClient();
    }
    return apiClient;
}

//private static Retrofit storeRetrofit = null;

public Retrofit getClient() {
    return getClient(null);
}


private Retrofit getClient(final Context context) {

    HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
    interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
    OkHttpClient.Builder client = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
    client.readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    client.writeTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    client.connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    client.addInterceptor(interceptor);
    client.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
        @Override
        public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
            Request request = chain.request();

            return chain.proceed(request);
        }
    });

    retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
            .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
            .client(client.build())
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .build();


    return retrofit;
}

}

then make api interface like below ..

public interface ApiInterface {
@POST("login/")
Call<LoginResponseModel> loginCheck(@Body UserData data);
}

make pojo call for server response and user input ..

public class LoginResponseModel {
@SerializedName("message") // here define your json key
private String msg;

public String getMsg() {
    return msg;
}

public void setMsg(String msg) {
    this.msg = msg;
}

}

user Input class

public class UserData {
private String email,password;

public String getEmail() {
    return email;
}

public void setEmail(String email) {
    this.email = email;
}

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

}

    private void getLogin(){
    ApiInterface apiInterface=ApiClient.getInstance().getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
    UserData data=new UserData();
    data.setEmail("abc@gmail.com");
    data.setPassword("123456");
    Call<LoginResponseModel> loginResponseModelCall=apiInterface.loginCheck(data);
    loginResponseModelCall.enqueue(new Callback<LoginResponseModel>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<LoginResponseModel> call, retrofit2.Response<LoginResponseModel> response) {
            if (response.isSuccessful() &&  response !=null && response.body() !=null){
                LoginResponseModel loginResponseModel=response.body();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<LoginResponseModel> call, Throwable t) {

        }
    });
}

When no need user intercation that time used GET method.

you make pojo class then used below link it generate pojo class paste your json data in.. http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Non-body HTTP method cannot contain @Body getting this error for `public interface ApiInterface { @GET("questions/") Call loginCheck(@Body JSONObject data); }` — Kumar Jadhav, May 08 '18 at 10:01
**i got same issue :** i want to pass body data(JSON object) in to GET() what i need to do for same? — Arbaz.in, Oct 09 '19 at 05:57
