Error when getting token with status code: BadAuthentication while using Firebase cloud messaging to send push notification

I'm using Firebase Cloud Messaging to send push notification.Here is the code which i had used to send notification to the same device.
public SendNotificationTask(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public SendNotificationTask(Context context, String title, String message) {
this.context = context;
this.title = title;
this.message = message;
SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREF, 0);
deviceToken = pref.getString("regId",null);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
System.out.println("in send notification AsyncTask");
// String inputJson = strings[1];
String result = "";
String pushMessage = "{\"data\":{\"title\":\"" +
title +
"\",\"message\":\"" +
message +
"\"},\"to\":\"" +
deviceToken +
"\"}";
try {
//https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
URL url1 = new URL(strings[0]);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url1.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
String userCredentials = authUsername + ":" + authPassword;
System.out.println("Basic Auth : " + userCredentials);
byte[] authBytes = Base64.encodeBase64(userCredentials.getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "key=" + SERVER_KEY);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
con.setDoInput(true);
con.setDoOutput(true);
//this creates body part of that connection then goto server & server reads it using input stream
OutputStream out = con.getOutputStream();
DataOutputStream dataOut = new DataOutputStream(out);
//dataOut.writeBytes(inputJson);
dataOut.writeBytes(pushMessage);
//System.out.println("Input json is given");
dataOut.flush();
dataOut.close();
//get server response----reading data from server
if (con.getResponseCode() == 200) {
InputStream is = con.getInputStream();
Utilities.systemOutPrint("Input stream : "+is);
int data;
while (true) {
data = is.read();
if (data == -1) break;
else
result = result + (char) data;
}
}//eof if
else if (con.getResponseCode() == 409) {
// Toast.makeText(context, "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
result = "request could not be completed";
}
con.disconnect();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
}
And I got the response too for the sending message. here is the response code
{"multicast_id":5927288239556944143,"success":1,"failure":0,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"message_id":"0:1498821718973437%9fbc6d3bf9fd7ecd"}]}
but I didn't get the expected result i.e push notification on my device. here is the error image : error after getting response from the user
Please help me in this
For all your answers thanks in advance

java.net.ConnectException Connection timed out: connect

I'm working with a RESTFul api in Java EE7. I'm using a #Stateless EJB with a method that I can reach by a HTTP Post request. I am trying to validate a recaptcha code in the server side, so I need to make a HTTP Post request to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify/ with my secret key and the google captcha response that the client sent.
The problem occurs when I try to make the request from the server. The exception is a ConnectException with message "Connection timed out: connect". I think I cannot connect to the web, but I am not sure. I am using NetBeans IDE 8.1
Here is the code:

Java Jersey-client header issue

i'm trying to add the following headers to a rest Post call... it works in plain Java but i'm trying to re-write it using the Jersey client library... When I make the post with Jersey I get an error code which isn't listed in the API documentation so i know it must just be a small issue like a missing header... Any idea what i'm doing wrong in the bottom function?
Plain Java add headers function that works:
private void SetDefaultHeaders(HttpURLConnection conn) {
setRequestProperty(conn, "Accept", "*");
setRequestProperty(conn, "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
}
Jersey code:
public void logIn(String email, String password) {
if (email != "" && email != null && password != "" && password != null) {
try {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(Settings.WIFIPLUG_URL);
sb.append("/user_login");
MultivaluedMap<String, String> body = new MultivaluedMapImpl();
body.add("username=", email);
body.add("password=", password);
System.out.println("login url: " + sb.toString());
WebResource webResource = Client.create(new DefaultClientConfig()).resource(sb.toString());
WebResource.Builder builder = webResource.accept("*");
builder.type("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
ClientResponse response = builder.post(ClientResponse.class, body);
if (response.getStatus() != 200) {
throw new RuntimeException("failed: http error code " + response.getStatus());
}
System.out.println("Response from server: " + response.getEntity(String.class));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Full vanilla java login function:
public String postUserLogin(String username, String password) {
String result = "";
// URL for API to login
String url = "https://wifiplugapi.co.uk:3081/zcloud/api/user_login";
String requestParams = "username=" + username + "&password=" + password;
try {
URL obj = new URL(url);
System.out.println("login url: " + obj);
// Opens the connection
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
// Send POST request
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setDoInput(true);
// Request Headers
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
// Sets all the headers
SetDefaultHeaders(con);
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
wr.write(requestParams);// adds values to the request
wr.flush();
wr.close();
// Handles the response
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == 200) {
// if the request was successful OK = 200
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
String line = null;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
br.close();
// Returns Token
} else {
// If the request was bad, reason will be printed
result = "Error, login request failed";
throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : " + con.getResponseCode());
}
result = sb.toString();
// JSON Parser
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject resultObj = parser.parse(result).getAsJsonObject();
con.disconnect();
if (resultObj.get("token") != null) {
result = (resultObj.get("token")).toString();
System.out.println("JSONObject Result (token): " + result);
} else {
System.out.println("result = " + result);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// returns token value in string ie. fdg573gb3789gv923378gy83g3
result = result.replaceAll("\"", "");
return result;
}

You shouldn't have the = in the key when doing body.add. It will be added for you
MultivaluedMap<String, String> body = new MultivaluedMapImpl();
body.add("username=", email); // remove the =
body.add("password=", password); // remove the =

Java passing parameters to parse.com cloud code function using REST [duplicate]

I am successfully using this code to send HTTP requests with some parameters via GET method
void sendRequest(String request)
{
// i.e.: request = "http://example.com/index.php?param1=a&param2=b&param3=c";
URL url = new URL(request);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain");
connection.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
connection.connect();
}
Now I may need to send the parameters (i.e. param1, param2, param3) via POST method because they are very long.
I was thinking to add an extra parameter to that method (i.e. String httpMethod).
How can I change the code above as little as possible to be able to send paramters either via GET or POST?
I was hoping that changing
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
to
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
would have done the trick, but the parameters are still sent via GET method.
Has HttpURLConnection got any method that would help?
Is there any helpful Java construct?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

In a GET request, the parameters are sent as part of the URL.
In a POST request, the parameters are sent as a body of the request, after the headers.
To do a POST with HttpURLConnection, you need to write the parameters to the connection after you have opened the connection.
This code should get you started:
String urlParameters = "param1=a&param2=b&param3=c";
byte[] postData = urlParameters.getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
int postDataLength = postData.length;
String request = "http://example.com/index.php";
URL url = new URL( request );
HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput( true );
conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects( false );
conn.setRequestMethod( "POST" );
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestProperty( "charset", "utf-8");
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", Integer.toString( postDataLength ));
conn.setUseCaches( false );
try( DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream( conn.getOutputStream())) {
wr.write( postData );
}

Here is a simple example that submits a form then dumps the result page to System.out. Change the URL and the POST params as appropriate, of course:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL url = new URL("http://example.net/new-message.php");
Map<String,Object> params = new LinkedHashMap<>();
params.put("name", "Freddie the Fish");
params.put("email", "fishie#seamail.example.com");
params.put("reply_to_thread", 10394);
params.put("message", "Shark attacks in Botany Bay have gotten out of control. We need more defensive dolphins to protect the schools here, but Mayor Porpoise is too busy stuffing his snout with lobsters. He's so shellfish.");
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
for (Map.Entry<String,Object> param : params.entrySet()) {
if (postData.length() != 0) postData.append('&');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(param.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
postData.append('=');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(param.getValue()), "UTF-8"));
}
byte[] postDataBytes = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postDataBytes.length));
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.getOutputStream().write(postDataBytes);
Reader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
System.out.print((char)c);
}
}
If you want the result as a String instead of directly printed out do:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
sb.append((char)c);
String response = sb.toString();

I couldn't get Alan's example to actually do the post, so I ended up with this:
String urlParameters = "param1=a&param2=b&param3=c";
URL url = new URL("http://example.com/index.php");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.write(urlParameters);
writer.flush();
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
writer.close();
reader.close();

I find HttpURLConnection really cumbersome to use. And you have to write a lot of boilerplate, error prone code. I needed a lightweight wrapper for my Android projects and came out with a library which you can use as well: DavidWebb.
The above example could be written like this:
Webb webb = Webb.create();
webb.post("http://example.com/index.php")
.param("param1", "a")
.param("param2", "b")
.param("param3", "c")
.ensureSuccess()
.asVoid();
You can find a list of alternative libraries on the link provided.

import java.net.*;
public class Demo{
public static void main(){
String data = "data=Hello+World!";
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8084/WebListenerServer/webListener");
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.getOutputStream().write(data.getBytes("UTF-8"));
con.getInputStream();
}
}

i have read above answers and have created a utility class to simplify HTTP request. i hope it will help you.

I see some other answers have given the alternative, I personally think that intuitively you're doing the right thing ;). Sorry, at devoxx where several speakers have been ranting about this sort of thing.
That's why I personally use Apache's HTTPClient/HttpCore libraries to do this sort of work, I find their API to be easier to use than Java's native HTTP support. YMMV of course!

GET and POST method set like this... Two types for api calling 1)get() and 2) post() . get() method to get value from api json array to get value & post() method use in our data post in url and get response.
public class HttpClientForExample {
private final String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
HttpClientExample http = new HttpClientExample();
System.out.println("Testing 1 - Send Http GET request");
http.sendGet();
System.out.println("\nTesting 2 - Send Http POST request");
http.sendPost();
}
// HTTP GET request
private void sendGet() throws Exception {
String url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=developer";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
// add request header
request.addHeader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
System.out.println("\nSending 'GET' request to URL : " + url);
System.out.println("Response Code : " +
response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
System.out.println(result.toString());
}
// HTTP POST request
private void sendPost() throws Exception {
String url = "https://selfsolve.apple.com/wcResults.do";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
// add header

urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sn", "C02G8416DRJM"));
urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("cn", ""));
urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("locale", ""));
urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("caller", ""));
urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("num", "12345"));
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(urlParameters));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
System.out.println("\nSending 'POST' request to URL : " + url);

}

I had the same issue. I wanted to send data via POST.
I used the following code:
URL url = new URL("http://example.com/getval.php");
Map<String,Object> params = new LinkedHashMap<>();
params.put("param1", param1);
params.put("param2", param2);
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
for (Map.Entry<String,Object> param : params.entrySet()) {
if (postData.length() != 0) postData.append('&');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(param.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
postData.append('=');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(param.getValue()), "UTF-8"));
}
String urlParameters = postData.toString();
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.write(urlParameters);
writer.flush();
String result = "";
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result += line;
}
writer.close();
reader.close()
System.out.println(result);
I used Jsoup for parse:
Document doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(value);
Iterator<Element> opts = doc.select("option").iterator();
for (;opts.hasNext();) {
Element item = opts.next();
if (item.hasAttr("value")) {
System.out.println(item.attr("value"));
}
}

Try this pattern:
public static PricesResponse getResponse(EventRequestRaw request) {
// String urlParameters = "param1=a&param2=b&param3=c";
String urlParameters = Piping.serialize(request);
HttpURLConnection conn = RestClient.getPOSTConnection(endPoint, urlParameters);
PricesResponse response = null;
try {
// POST
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.write(urlParameters);
writer.flush();
// RESPONSE
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader((conn.getInputStream()), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
String json = Buffering.getString(reader);
response = (PricesResponse) Piping.deserialize(json, PricesResponse.class);
writer.close();
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
conn.disconnect();
System.out.println("PricesClient: " + response.toString());
return response;
}
public static HttpURLConnection getPOSTConnection(String endPoint, String urlParameters) {
return RestClient.getConnection(endPoint, "POST", urlParameters);
}
public static HttpURLConnection getConnection(String endPoint, String method, String urlParameters) {
System.out.println("ENDPOINT " + endPoint + " METHOD " + method);
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(endPoint);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(method);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return conn;
}

This answer covers the specific case of the POST Call using a Custom Java POJO.
Using maven dependency for Gson to serialize our Java Object to JSON.
Install Gson using the dependency below.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
<version>2.8.5</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
For those using gradle can use the below
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'
}
Other imports used:
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.*;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
Now, we can go ahead and use the HttpPost provided by Apache
private CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://example.com");
Product product = new Product(); //custom java object to be posted as Request Body
Gson gson = new Gson();
String client = gson.toJson(product);
httppost.setEntity(new StringEntity(client, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON));
httppost.setHeader("RANDOM-HEADER", "headervalue");
//Execute and get the response.
HttpResponse response = null;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new InternalServerErrorException("Post fails");
}
Response.Status responseStatus = Response.Status.fromStatusCode(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
return Response.status(responseStatus).build();
The above code will return with the response code received from the POST Call

here i sent jsonobject as parameter //jsonobject={"name":"lucifer","pass":"abc"}//serverUrl = "http://192.168.100.12/testing" //host=192.168.100.12
public static String getJson(String serverUrl,String host,String jsonobject){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String http = serverUrl;

urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");

urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(50000);
urlConnection.setReadTimeout(50000);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Host", host);
urlConnection.connect();
//You Can also Create JSONObject here
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
out.write(jsonobject);// here i sent the parameter
out.close();
int HttpResult = urlConnection.getResponseCode();
if (HttpResult == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {

while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
br.close();
Log.e("new Test", "" + sb.toString());
return sb.toString();
} else {
Log.e(" ", "" + urlConnection.getResponseMessage());
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (urlConnection != null)
urlConnection.disconnect();

I higly recomend http-request built on apache http api.
For your case you can see example:
private static final HttpRequest<String.class> HTTP_REQUEST =
HttpRequestBuilder.createPost("http://example.com/index.php", String.class)
.responseDeserializer(ResponseDeserializer.ignorableDeserializer())
.build();
public void sendRequest(String request){
String parameters = request.split("\\?")[1];
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler =
HTTP_REQUEST.executeWithQuery(parameters);
System.out.println(responseHandler.getStatusCode());
System.out.println(responseHandler.get()); //prints response body
}
If you are not interested in the response body
private static final HttpRequest<?> HTTP_REQUEST =
HttpRequestBuilder.createPost("http://example.com/index.php").build();
public void sendRequest(String request){
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler =
HTTP_REQUEST.executeWithQuery(parameters);
}
For general sending post request with http-request: Read the documentation and see my answers HTTP POST request with JSON String in JAVA, Sending HTTP POST Request In Java, HTTP POST using JSON in Java

I took Boann's answer and used it to create a more flexible query string builder that supports lists and arrays, just like php's http_build_query method:
public static byte[] httpBuildQueryString(Map<String, Object> postsData) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
for (Map.Entry<String,Object> param : postsData.entrySet()) {
if (postData.length() != 0) postData.append('&');
Object value = param.getValue();
String key = param.getKey();
if(value instanceof Object[] || value instanceof List<?>)
{
int size = value instanceof Object[] ? ((Object[])value).length : ((List<?>)value).size();
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
Object val = value instanceof Object[] ? ((Object[])value)[i] : ((List<?>)value).get(i);
if(i>0) postData.append('&');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(key + "[" + i + "]", "UTF-8"));
postData.append('=');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(val), "UTF-8"));
}
}
else
{
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(key, "UTF-8"));
postData.append('=');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(value), "UTF-8"));
}
}
return postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
}

For those having trouble receiving the request on a php page using $_POST because you expect key-value pairs:
While all the answers where very helpful, I lacked some basic understanding on which string actually to post, since in the old apache HttpClient I used
new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs); (Java)
and then could use $_POST in php do get the key-value pairs.
To my understanding now one has build that string manually before posting. So the string needs to look like
val data = "key1=val1&key2=val2"
but instead just adding it to the url it is posted (in the header).
The alternative would be to use a json-string instead:
val data = "{\"key1\":\"val1\",\"key2\":\"val2\"}" // {"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}
and pull it in php without $_POST:
$json_params = file_get_contents('php://input');
// echo_p("Data: $json_params");
$data = json_decode($json_params, true);
Here you find a sample code in Kotlin:
class TaskDownloadTest : AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void): Void? {
var urlConnection: HttpURLConnection? = null
try {
val postData = JsonObject()
postData.addProperty("key1", "val1")
postData.addProperty("key2", "val2")
// reformat json to key1=value1&key2=value2
// keeping json because I may change the php part to interpret json requests, could be a HashMap instead
val keys = postData.keySet()
var request = ""
keys.forEach { key ->
// Log.i("data", key)
request += "$key=${postData.get(key)}&"
}
request = request.replace("\"", "").removeSuffix("&")
val requestLength = request.toByteArray().size
// Warning in Android 9 you need to add a line in the application part of the manifest: android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45940861/android-8-cleartext-http-traffic-not-permitted
val url = URL("http://10.0.2.2/getdata.php")
urlConnection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
// urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") // apparently default
// Not sure what these are for, I do not use them
// urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json")
// urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Key","Value")
urlConnection.readTimeout = 5000
urlConnection.connectTimeout = 5000
urlConnection.requestMethod = "POST"
urlConnection.doOutput = true
// urlConnection.doInput = true
urlConnection.useCaches = false
urlConnection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(requestLength)
// urlConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0) // if you do not want to handle request length which is fine for small requests
val out = urlConnection.outputStream
val writer = BufferedWriter(
OutputStreamWriter(
out, "UTF-8"
)
)
writer.write(request)
// writer.write("{\"key1\":\"val1\",\"key2\":\"val2\"}") // {"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"} JsonFormat or just postData.toString() for $json_params=file_get_contents('php://input'); json_decode($json_params, true); in php
// writer.write("key1=val1&key2=val2") // key=value format for $_POST in php
writer.flush()
writer.close()
out.close()
val code = urlConnection.responseCode
if (code != 200) {
throw IOException("Invalid response from server: $code")
}
val rd = BufferedReader(
InputStreamReader(
urlConnection.inputStream
)
)
var line = rd.readLine()
while (line != null) {
Log.i("data", line)
line = rd.readLine()
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
} finally {
urlConnection?.disconnect()
}
return null
}
}

Now I had to do an HTTP request class, it is probably not the most efficient class, but it works.
I collected some codes from this page and made it more dynamic.
Anyone who needs a complete code, I attached it below.
For an example of how to use it, you can look at the main method.
Also, if you are willing to improve classes online, you are more than welcome to help me make this class better.
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.nio.charset.*;
import java.io.*;
public class HttpRequest {
String result = "";
HttpRequest(String _url, String _method, Map<String, String> _postData, String _contentType) {
try {
URL url = new URL( _url );
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection)con;
http.setRequestMethod(_method); // PUT is another valid option
http.setDoOutput(true);
StringJoiner sj = new StringJoiner("&");
for(Map.Entry<String,String> entry : _postData.entrySet())
sj.add(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8") + "=" + entry.getValue());
//sj.add(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue()));
byte[] out = sj.toString().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
int length = out.length;
http.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(length);
http.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", _contentType);
http.setRequestProperty( "charset", "utf-8");
http.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", Integer.toString( length ));
http.setInstanceFollowRedirects( false );
http.setUseCaches( false );
http.connect();
try(OutputStream os = http.getOutputStream()) {
os.write(out);
}
if (http.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
try (BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(http.getInputStream()))) {
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
result = result + line;
}
}
} else {
System.out.println("Bad response!");
}
}catch (IOException e) {
// writing exception to log
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
HttpRequest(String _url, String _method, Map<String, String> _postData) {
this(_url, _method, _postData, "text/html");
}
HttpRequest(String _url, String _method) {
this(_url, _method, new HashMap<String, String>());
}
HttpRequest(String _url) {
this(_url, "GET");
}
public String toString() {
return result;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Map<String, String> postData = new HashMap<String, String>();
postData.putIfAbsent("email", "test#test.com");
postData.putIfAbsent("password", "test");
HttpRequest result = new HttpRequest("https://httpbin.org/anything", "POST", postData, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
System.out.println(result.toString());
}
}

Appears that you also have to callconnection.getOutputStream() "at least once" (as well as setDoOutput(true)) for it to treat it as a POST.
So the minimum required code is:
URL url = new URL(urlString);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
//connection.setRequestMethod("POST"); this doesn't seem to do anything at all..so not useful
connection.setDoOutput(true); // set it to POST...not enough by itself however, also need the getOutputStream call...
connection.connect();
connection.getOutputStream().close();
You can even use "GET" style parameters in the urlString, surprisingly. Though that might confuse things.
You can also use NameValuePair apparently.

How can i get any value from json calls (Post, Get, JSON) with Selenium WebDriver on Java?

I have a following functionality: I create through the user form a new user. After i had submitted the entered data, created user get the bar-code, which would be used for get access to the other system section by scanning that bar-code with hand-scanner. So how can i get any value (in my case that bar-code from json calls (Post, Get, JSON) with Selenium WebDriver on Java?

Selenium has nothing to do with json. You can use Apache HttpClient library for sending GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests and receiving the responses. Given below is a simplified function for all cases.
public static HttpResponse sendRequest(String requestType, String body,String url,
String... headers) throws Exception {
try {
HttpGet getRequest = null;
HttpPost postRequest;
HttpPut putRequest;
HttpDelete delRequest;
HttpResponse response = null;
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Collecting Headers
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
for (String arg : headers) {
//Considering that you are applying header name and values in String format like this "Header1,Value1"
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(arg.split(",")[0], arg
.split(",")[1]));
}
System.out.println("Total Headers Supplied " + nvps.size());
if (requestType.equalsIgnoreCase("GET")) {
getRequest = new HttpGet(url);
for (NameValuePair h : nvps) {
getRequest.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
response = client.execute(getRequest);
}
if (requestType.equalsIgnoreCase("POST")) {
postRequest = new HttpPost(url);
for (NameValuePair h : nvps) {
postRequest.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
StringEntity requestEntity = new StringEntity(body,"UTF-8");
postRequest.setEntity(requestEntity);
response = client.execute(postRequest);
}
if (requestType.equalsIgnoreCase("PUT")) {
putRequest = new HttpPut(url);
for (NameValuePair h : nvps) {
putRequest.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
StringEntity requestEntity = new StringEntity(body,"UTF-8");
putRequest.setEntity(requestEntity);
response = client.execute(putRequest);
}
if (requestType.equalsIgnoreCase("DELETE")) {
delRequest = new HttpDelete(url);
for (NameValuePair h : nvps) {
delRequest.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}
response = client.execute(delRequest);
}
return response;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
}

Selenium only deals with browsers.
Java has classes that do http requests.
see the code below:
private HttpURLConnection setODataConnection(String url, String method) {
try {
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(method);
// add request header
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json;odata=verbose");
return conn;
} catch (Exception e) {
Assert.fail(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}
private StringBuilder sendODataRequest(HttpURLConnection conn) {
try {
int responseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
String method = conn.getRequestMethod();
System.out.println("\nSending '" + method + "' request to URL : " + conn.getURL());
System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(inputLine);
}
in.close();
return response;
} catch (Exception e) {
Assert.fail(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}
private ArrayList<String> getByFullUrl(String fullUrl, String entity) {
HttpURLConnection conn = setODataConnection(fullUrl, "GET");
StringBuilder response = sendODataRequest(conn);
ArrayList<String> s = new ArrayList<String>();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(entity + "\" : (.*?)\\}");
Matcher m = p.matcher(response);
while (m.find()) {
s.add(m.group(1).replace("\"", ""));
}
return s;
}
public ArrayList<String> get(String table, String entity) {
String url = oDataUrl + table + "?$select=" + entity;
return getByFullUrl(url, entity);
}
public void post(String table, String bodyDetails) {
String url = oDataUrl + table;
HttpURLConnection conn = setODataConnection(url, "POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
try {
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes("details={" + bodyDetails + "}");
wr.flush();
wr.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Assert.fail(e.getMessage());
}
sendODataRequest(conn);
}
public void put(String table, String id, String bodyDetails) {
String url = oDataUrl + table + "(" + id + ")";
HttpURLConnection conn = setODataConnection(url, "PUT");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
try {
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes("details={" + bodyDetails + "}");
wr.flush();
wr.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Assert.fail(e.getMessage());
}
sendODataRequest(conn);
}
