SEND HTTP POST REQUEST

Follow the steps to send HTTP POST requests.
1. Create an object of HttpClient

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

2. Create an object of HttpPost

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://www.example.com");

3. Add POST parameters

List<NameValuePair> nameValuePair = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "test_user"));
nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "123456789"));

4. Encode POST data

We need to encode our data into valid URL format before making HTTP request.

//Encoding POST data
try {
      httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePair));
 
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
     e.printStackTrace();
}

 

5. Finally making an HTTP POST request

try {
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
    // write response to log
    Log.d("Http Post Response:", response.toString());
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    // Log exception
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    // Log exception
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Make sure you add Internet permission to your app before making such requests else you might see some errors.

You can add Internet permissions by adding this line to your manifest file above application tag.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

        }
 
        //making POST request.
        try {
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
            // write response to log
            Log.d("Http Post Response:", response.toString());
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // Log exception

        } catch (IOException e) {
            // Log exception

SEND  HTTP GET REQUEST

To send HTTP GET request follow the steps.
1. Create an object of HttpClient

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

2. Create an object of HttpGet

HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://www.example.com");

3. Finally make HTTP request

HttpResponse response;
try {
    response = client.execute(request);
             
    Log.d("Response of GET request", response.toString());
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
}
