I have developed a web service using Java and Jersey. Now I am trying to connect into it, call its methods and get data, using android.
Below is the related part of the web service.
import bean.PatientBean;
import bean.UserBean;
import db.PatientImpl;
import db.PatientInterface;
import db.UserImpl;
import db.UserInterface;
import java.util.List;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
#Path("/patient")
public class PatientJSONService
{
#POST
#Path("/getPatientById/{Id}")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public PatientBean getPatientById(#PathParam("Id")String Id)
{
PatientInterface patinetInterface=new PatientImpl();
PatientBean patientById = patinetInterface.getPatientById(Id);
return patientById;
}
}
In my android application, I am using Retrofit 2 to call the above REST method.
private void restCall()
{
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
.create();
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
.build();
YourEndpoints request = retrofit.create(YourEndpoints.class);
Call<PatientBean> yourResult = request.getPatientById("ERTA001");
yourResult.enqueue(new Callback<PatientBean>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<PatientBean> call, Response<PatientBean> response) {
try {
// Log.d("MainActivity", "RESPONSE_A: " + response.body().toString());
Log.d("MainActivity", "RESPONSE: " + response.errorBody().string());
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<PatientBean> call, Throwable t) {
try {
t.printStackTrace();
Log.d("MainActivity", "RESPONSE: "+"FAILED");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
Below is my EndPoint interface
public interface YourEndpoints {
#POST("patient/getPatientById/{Id}")
Call<PatientBean>getPatientById(#Body String Id);
}
However When I run the code, I get a HTML response from Apache Tomcat Server, which basically says HTTP Status 405 - Method Not Allowed.
How can I solve this issue?
Change your ws endpoint to #GET, and then change your rest client to below code:
#GET("patient/getPatientById/{Id}")
Call<PatientBean>getPatientById(#Path("Id") String Id);
GET should be used to retrieve data from the server.
POST should be used to send data to the server.
If you are using GSON along with RetroFit, you should not need your own implementation within getPatientById(). And, yes you should be using a GET method.
public interface PatientService {
#GET("patient/getPatientById/{Id}")
Call<PatientBean> getPatientById(#Path("Id") String id);
}
If your PatientBean is setup correctly, you should be able to call the following to get a fully formed instance of the class:
PatientService service = retrofit.create(PatientService.class);
Call<PatientBean> call = service.getPatientById("ERTA001");
call.enqueue(new Callback<PatientBean> {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<PatientBean> call, Response<PatientBean> response) {
mPatientBean = response.body();
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<PatientBean> call, Throwable throwable) {
throwable.printStackTrace();
}
});
I have an android app that has 3 activities :
A login activity
A tasks acivity where all tasks pertaining to a user are displayed (Populated using an Array Adapter)
A task_details activity which results from clicking a task on the list
I have to consume REST Apis. The research I have done so far directs me to use Retrofit. I checked how to use it and found out that :
Set the base URL in the Main Activity (Mine is the Login Activity)
I need to create a API class and define my functions using annotations.
Use the class Rest Adapter in the Activity and define Callbacks.
Had my app been a single activity app, I would have crunched everything in my MainActivity.java but I don't know how and where to put all the code from steps 1,2,3 for use in my 3 activities.Could you please help by telling how to use Retrofit in my app. Thanks a lot.
Specifically, I need network calls to :
1. Login the user
2. Get all the tasks of the user.
And for both I would be using a given REST api.

Using Retrofit is quite simple and straightforward.
First of all you need to add retrofit to your project, as example with Gradle build sytem.
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.7.1' |
another way you can download .jar and place it to your libs folder.
Then you need to define interfaces that will be used by Retrofit to make API calls to your REST endpoints. For example for users:
public interface YourUsersApi {
//You can use rx.java for sophisticated composition of requests
#GET("/users/{user}")
public Observable<SomeUserModel> fetchUser(#Path("user") String user);
//or you can just get your model if you use json api
#GET("/users/{user}")
public SomeUserModel fetchUser(#Path("user") String user);
//or if there are some special cases you can process your response manually
#GET("/users/{user}")
public Response fetchUser(#Path("user") String user);
}
Ok. Now you have defined your API interface an you can try to use it.
To start you need to create an instance of RestAdapter and set base url of your API back-end. It's also quite simple:
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint("https://yourserveraddress.com")
.build();
YourUsersApi yourUsersApi = restAdapter.create(YourUsersApi.class);
Here Retrofit will read your information from interface and under the hood it will create RestHandler according to meta-info your provided which actually will perform HTTP requests.
Then under the hood, once response is received, in case of json api your data will be transformed to your model using Gson library so you should be aware of that fact that limitations that are present in Gson are actually there in Retrofit.
To extend/override process of serialisers/deserialisation your response data to your models you might want to provide your custom serialisers/deserialisers to retrofit.
Here you need to implement Converter interface and implement 2 methods fromBody() and toBody().
Here is example:
public class SomeCustomRetrofitConverter implements Converter {
private GsonBuilder gb;
public SomeCustomRetrofitConverter() {
gb = new GsonBuilder();
//register your cursom custom type serialisers/deserialisers if needed
gb.registerTypeAdapter(SomeCutsomType.class, new SomeCutsomTypeDeserializer());
}
public static final String ENCODING = "UTF-8";
#Override
public Object fromBody(TypedInput body, Type type) throws ConversionException {
String charset = "UTF-8";
if (body.mimeType() != null) {
charset = MimeUtil.parseCharset(body.mimeType());
}
InputStreamReader isr = null;
try {
isr = new InputStreamReader(body.in(), charset);
Gson gson = gb.create();
return gson.fromJson(isr, type);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new ConversionException(e);
} catch (JsonParseException e) {
throw new ConversionException(e);
} finally {
if (isr != null) {
try {
isr.close();
} catch (IOException ignored) {
}
}
}
}
#Override
public TypedOutput toBody(Object object) {
try {
Gson gson = gb.create();
return new JsonTypedOutput(gson.toJson(object).getBytes(ENCODING), ENCODING);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
throw new AssertionError(e);
}
}
private static class JsonTypedOutput implements TypedOutput {
private final byte[] jsonBytes;
private final String mimeType;
JsonTypedOutput(byte[] jsonBytes, String encode) {
this.jsonBytes = jsonBytes;
this.mimeType = "application/json; charset=" + encode;
}
#Override
public String fileName() {
return null;
}
#Override
public String mimeType() {
return mimeType;
}
#Override
public long length() {
return jsonBytes.length;
}
#Override
public void writeTo(OutputStream out) throws IOException {
out.write(jsonBytes);
}
}
}
And now you need to enable your custom adapters, if it was needed by using setConverter() on building RestAdapter
Ok. Now you are aware how you can get your data from server to your Android application. But you need somehow mange your data and invoke REST call in right place.
There I would suggest to use android Service or AsyncTask or loader or rx.java that would query your data on background thread in order to not block your UI.
So now you can find the most appropriate place to call
SomeUserModel yourUser = yourUsersApi.fetchUser("someUsers")
to fetch your remote data.
I have just used retrofit for a couple of weeks and at first I found it hard to use in my application. I would like to share to you the easiest way to use retrofit in you application. And then later on if you already have a good grasp in retrofit you can enhance your codes(separating your ui from api and use callbacks) and maybe get some techniques from the post above.
In your app you have Login,Activity for list of task,and activity to view detailed task.
First thing is you need to add retrofit in your app and theres 2 ways, follow #artemis post above.
Retrofit uses interface as your API. So, create an interface class.
public interface MyApi{
/*LOGIN*/
#GET("/api_reciever/login") //your login function in your api
public void login(#Query("username") String username,#Query("password") String password,Callback<String> calback); //this is for your login, and you can used String as response or you can use a POJO, retrofit is very rubust to convert JSON to POJO
/*GET LIST*/
#GET("/api_reciever/getlist") //a function in your api to get all the list
public void getTaskList(#Query("user_uuid") String user_uuid,Callback<ArrayList<Task>> callback); //this is an example of response POJO - make sure your variable name is the same with your json tagging
/*GET LIST*/
#GET("/api_reciever/getlistdetails") //a function in your api to get all the list
public void getTaskDetail(#Query("task_uuid") String task_uuid,Callback<Task> callback); //this is an example of response POJO - make sure your variable name is the same with your json tagging
}
Create another interface class to hold all your BASE ADDRESS of your api
public interface Constants{
public String URL = "www.yoururl.com"
}
In your Login activity create a method to handle the retrofit
private void myLogin(String username,String password){
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(Constants.URL) //call your base url
.build();
MyApi mylogin = restAdapter.create(MyApi.class); //this is how retrofit create your api
mylogin.login(username,password,new Callback<String>() {
#Override
public void success(String s, Response response) {
//process your response if login successfull you can call Intent and launch your main activity
}
#Override
public void failure(RetrofitError retrofitError) {
retrofitError.printStackTrace(); //to see if you have errors
}
});
}
In your MainActivityList
private void myList(String user_uuid){
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(Constants.URL) //call your base url
.build();
MyApi mytask = restAdapter.create(MyApi.class); //this is how retrofit create your api
mytask.getTaskDetail(user_uuid,new Callback<Task>>() {
#Override
public void success(ArrayList<Task> list, Response response) {
//process your response if successful load the list in your listview adapter
}
#Override
public void failure(RetrofitError retrofitError) {
retrofitError.printStackTrace(); //to see if you have errors
}
});
}
In your Detailed List
private void myDetailed(String task_uuid){
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(Constants.URL) //call your base url
.build();
MyApi mytask = restAdapter.create(MyApi.class); //this is how retrofit create your api
mytask.getTaskList(task_uuid,new Callback<Task>() {
#Override
public void success(Task task, Response response) {
//process your response if successful do what you want in your task
}
#Override
public void failure(RetrofitError retrofitError) {
retrofitError.printStackTrace(); //to see if you have errors
}
});
}
Hope this would help you though its really the simplest way to use retrofit.
Take a look at this , excellent blog on using Retrofit in conjunction with Otto, both libraries are from Square.
http://www.mdswanson.com/blog/2014/04/07/durable-android-rest-clients.html
The basic idea is that you will hold a reference to a "repository" object in your Application class. This object will have methods that "subscribe" to rest api event requests. When one is received it will make the proper Retrofit call, and then "post" the response, which can then be "subscribed" to by another component (such as the activity that made the request).
Once you have this all setup properly, accessing data via your rest api becomes very easy. For example, making are request for data would look something like this :
mBus.post(new GetMicropostsRequest(mUserId));
and consuming the data would look something like this:
#Subscribe
public void onGetUserProfileResponse(GetUserProfileResponse event) {
mView.setUserIcon("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/" + event.getGravatar_id());
mView.setUserName(event.getName());
}
It takes a little bit of upfront effort, but in the end it becomes "trivial" to access anything you need from our backend via Rest.
You may try saving references to your api inside your application class. Then you can get it's instance from any activity or fragment and get api from there. That sounds a little weird, but it may be a simple DI alternative. And if you will only store references in your app class, it won't be a kind of god object
UPD: http://square.github.io/retrofit/ - here is some documentation, it might be useful
Using RetroFit is very easy.
Add dependecy in build.gradle.
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.4.0'
Make an Interface for all http methods.
Copy your json output and create pojo class to recieve json of your
response, you can make pojo from JsonSchema2pojo site .
make an adapter and call your method
for complete demo try this tutorial Retrofit Android example
Checkout this app that demonstrates Retrofit integration to Google Tasks API.
https://github.com/sschendel/SyncManagerAndroid-DemoGoogleTasks
There are examples of Retrofit api (TaskApi) used within Activity AsyncTask in MainActivity, as well as examples of use within Sync Adapter in background service.
The strategy from the article posted in #nPn's answer is probably a more elegant solution, but you can at least look at another working example.
Firstly, putting everything in MainActivity would be bad practice and you would end up with a God object.
The documentation on the Retrofit site is fantastic, so I'm going to read your question on how to structure the project. I wrote a very small app for demonstration purposes. It loads cats from the cat API and should be fairly simple to follow what is happening.
It has an example of using JSON or XML for the parsing of data from the service. You can find it at https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Consuming-APIs-with-Retrofit
Hopefully you can extrapolate why I have structured it the way I have. I'm happy to answer any questions you have in the comments and update the answer.
I find these tutorials AndroidHive , CodePath helpful
I will briefly describe what I have learned.
Step 1 : Add these three dependencies to build.gradle and Add Internet permission to Manifest
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2' // for string to class conversion. Not Compulsory
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0'// compulsory
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0' //for retrofit conversion
Add them in Manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Step 2
Creae ApiClient and ApiInterface.
public class ApiClient {
public static final String BASE_URL = "http://yourwebsite/services/";
private static Retrofit retrofit = null;
public static Retrofit getClient() {
if (retrofit==null) {
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
}
return retrofit;
}
}
where ApiInterface.class
public interface ApiInterface {
// getting same data in three different ways.
#GET("GetCompanyDetailByID")
Call<CompanyResponse> getDetailOfComapanies(#Query("CompanyID") int companyID);
#GET("GetCompanyDetailByID")
Call<ResponseBody> getRawDetailOfCompanies(#Query("CompanyID") int companyID);
#GET("{pathToAdd}")
Call<CompanyResponse> getDetailOfComapaniesWithPath(#Path("pathToAdd") String pathToAppend, #Query("CompanyID") int companyID);
}
And call this service like
ApiInterface apiService =
ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
Call<CompanyResponse> companyResponseCall = apiService.getDetailOfComapanies(2);
//Call<CompanyResponse> companyResponseCall = apiService.getDetailOfComapaniesWithPath("GetCompanyDetailByID",2);
companyResponseCall.enqueue(new Callback<CompanyResponse>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<CompanyResponse> call, Response<CompanyResponse> response) {
CompanyResponse comapnyResponse = response.body();
Boolean status = comapnyResponse.getStatus();
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<CompanyResponse> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
For Getting Raw Json String
Call<ResponseBody> call = apiService.getRawDetailOfCompanies(2);
call.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<ResponseBody> call, Response<ResponseBody> response) {
String jsonStr = response.body().string();
if(!jsonStr.isEmpty()){
Gson gson = new Gson();
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonStr).getJSONObject("data");
//1st Method
Data dataKiType = gson.fromJson(jObject.toString(), Data.class);
dataKiType.getCompanyDetail();
//2nd method for creaing class or List at runTime
Type listType = new TypeToken<Data>(){}.getType();
Data yourClassList = new Gson().fromJson(jObject.toString(), listType);
yourClassList.getCompanyDetail();
} e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<ResponseBody> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
You can create your business object using http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/ by simply pasting json. and selecting source type to JSON and Annotation Style to GSon
Found a small, but complete and concise example at
https://github.com/square/retrofit/tree/master/samples
Beginners find it little intimidating to learn retrofit. I have prepared a tutorial which will simplify the learning curve. See Retrofit android tutorial for more information.
Developing your own type-safe HTTP library to interface with a REST API can be a real pain: you have to handle many aspects, such as making connections, caching, retrying failed requests, threading, response parsing, error handling, and more. Retrofit, on the other hand, is a well-planned, documented and tested library that will save you a lot of precious time and headaches.
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0'// compulsory
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0' //for retrofit conversion
First, add this lines to gradle file
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.7'
compile 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.8'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.4.1'
Then Create Objects in OnCreate of Activity
HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient client= new OkHttpClient
.Builder()
.connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.addInterceptor(interceptor).build();
Gson gson=new GsonBuilder()
.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")
.create();
Retrofit retrofit= new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("url")
.client(client)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
.build();
Create an iterface
public interface summaryListAPI {
//post
#FormUrlEncoded
#POST("index.php")
Call<summaryList> post(
#Field("status") String status,
#Field("sox") String sox
);
//get
#GET("yesbdeChatHistoryList/{userId}/")
Call<List<ChatTabTwoResp>> getFriends(
#Path("userId") int userId
);
}
Create classes
public class summaryList {
#SerializedName("bookingSummary") #Expose private List<summaryListData> status = new ArrayList<summaryListData>();
}
public class summaryListData {
#SerializedName("date") #Expose private String date;
}
Add this Method to your activity
public void apiSummaryListMain(final Retrofit retrofit) {
retrofit.create(summaryListAPI.class).post("8547861657","100").enqueue(new Callback<summaryList>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<summaryList> call, Response<summaryList> response) {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
List<summaryListData> summary_List= response.body().getStatus();
}else{
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<summaryList> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
}

I just braked this problem in a very easy way you just need install a plugin and follow some steps to implement retrofit in any of your App.:
Already posted answer : Retrofit in android?
Add (QAssist - Android Studio Plugin) Android plugin in your Android studio. ( https://github.com/sakkeerhussain/QAssist ).
Hope this will help you.

APIService mService = RetrofitClient.getClient(Constant.BASE_URL).create(APIService.class);

}
First, add the dependency - compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.7.1'
Create retrofit instance class
public class RetrofitClientInstance {
private Context context;
private static OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
private static Retrofit retrofit
private static Retrofit.Builder builder =
new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BuildConfig.SERVER_URL)
.client(getRequestHeader())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create());
public static HttpLoggingInterceptor setLogger() {
HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
logging.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
return logging;
}
public static <S> S createService(Class<S> serviceClass) {
if (!httpClient.interceptors().isEmpty()) {
httpClient.interceptors().clear();
}
httpClient.authenticator(new AccessTokenAuthenticator());
httpClient.readTimeout(60,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
httpClient.connectTimeout(60,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
httpClient.addInterceptor(setLogger());
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request original = chain.request();
Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
.header("LocalSystemDate", MyApplication.getInstance().getCurrentDateAndTimeWithTimeZone())
.addHeader("channel_id", AppConst.CHANNEL_ID)
.addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer" + " " + SharedPref.getsAccessToken())
.method(original.method(), original.body());
Request request = requestBuilder.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});
OkHttpClient client = httpClient.build();
Retrofit retrofit = builder.client(client).build();
return retrofit.create(serviceClass);
}
private static OkHttpClient getRequestHeader() {
return new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.build();
}
}
Write the interface
public interface GetDataService {
#Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
#POST("login")
Call<LoginResponseModel> loginUser(
#Body LoginBodyModel loginBodyModel
);
}
Call the service
GetDataService service = RetrofitClientInstance.createService(GetDataService.class);
Call<LoginResponseModel> loginModelCall = service.loginUser(loginBodyModel);
loginModelCall.enqueue(new Callback<LoginResponseModel>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<LoginResponseModel> call, Response<LoginResponseModel> response) {
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<LoginResponseModel> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
You can do this with hilt
#Module
#InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object RestClientModule {
#Provides
#Singleton
internal fun provideApiService(
#WeatherRetrofit retrofit: Retrofit
): ApiService = retrofit.create(ApiService::class.java)
#Provides
#WeatherRetrofit
#Singleton
internal fun provideHiCityRetrofit(
okHttpClient: OkHttpClient,
moshi: Moshi
): Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(EndPoint.STAGE_BASE_URL)
.client(okHttpClient)
.addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
.addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
.build()
}

I am working on an Android App and using Volley library. The response for some of the requests are in XML format. I searched for Android Volley tutorial on how to deal with XML, but can't seem to find.
The only option at this point for me is:
Use StringRequest to get the Server Response as String
Parse String and traverse it?
Here's the source of Volley:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley/+/43950676303ff68b23a8b469d6a534ccd1e08cfc/src/com/android/volley/toolbox
I don't see any class dealing with XML Objects.
Any other advice. Help???
As someone posted in comment, it has been answered here:
Volley library for Android parse xml response?
Volley do not directly provide an XML Object. Your approach of taking the response as String and then inflating to XMLObject is the way I did it.
I made a Class for parsing XML Responses from Server (Combining GsonRequest with Simple). Here's the Class Code Snippet: SimpleXmlRequest
At first it takes the response from Server as String. Then, it uses Simple Serialization tool (http://simple.sourceforge.net/) to inflate the response to XML Object.
gson-xml integrated with GsonRequest may be your answer.
This is something i wrote few weeks back to use with volley. It uses Simple Serialization for xml parsing and is very much similar to GSON.
CODE :
public class XmlGsonRequest<T> extends Request<T> {
public static final int XML_REQUEST = 1;
public static final int GSON_REQUEST = 2;
private Gson mGson;
private Serializer mSerializer;
private final Class<T> mClazz;
private final Listener<T> mListener;
private final int mRequestType;
public XmlGsonRequest(int method, int requestType, String url, Class<T> clazz, Listener<T> listener,
ErrorListener errorListener) {
super(method, url, errorListener);
mClazz = clazz;
mListener = listener;
mRequestType = requestType;
}
#Override
protected void deliverResponse(T response) {
mListener.onResponse(response);
}
#Override
protected Response<T> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
try {
String source = new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers));
if (mRequestType == XML_REQUEST) {
mSerializer = new Persister();
Reader reader = new StringReader(source);
return Response.success(mSerializer.read(mClazz, reader, false),
HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
} else if (mRequestType == GSON_REQUEST) {
mGson = new Gson();
return Response.success(mGson.fromJson(source, mClazz), HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
} else {
return null;
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
} catch (JsonSyntaxException e) {
return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
} catch (Exception e) {
return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
}
}
}
I'm trying to make Cross Site Request using GWT Request builder, which i couldn't get it to work yet. As you can see, this is much of a Sample GWT Project and i have gone through https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/Xsite . But still i'm missing something.
I'm Posting the code here. What am i missing ..?
package com.gwt.reqbuilder.client;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.Request;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestBuilder;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestCallback;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestException;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.Response;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.URL;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Window;
public class GWTRequestBuilder implements EntryPoint
{
private static final String JSON_URL = "http://localhost:8000/?q=ABC&callback=callback125";
public void onModuleLoad()
{
GWTPOSTHTTP();
}
public void GWTPOSTHTTP()
{
String postUrl="http://localhost:8000";
String requestData="q=ABC&callback=callback125";
RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.POST, postUrl);
try {
builder.sendRequest(requestData.toString(), new RequestCallback()
{
public void onError(Request request, Throwable e)
{
Window.alert(e.getMessage());
}
public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response)
{
if (200 == response.getStatusCode())
{
Window.alert(response.getText());
} else {
Window.alert("Received HTTP status code other than 200 : "+ response.getStatusText());
}
}
});
} catch (RequestException e) {
// Couldn't connect to server
Window.alert(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Actually we can make Cross Site Requests from GWT RequestBuilder if we can set in Servlet Response Header
Response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin","http://myhttpserver");
It's working Cool , if anyone need the GWT Project and Python Servlet, please do let me know, i can upload the files.
GWT Client Code : https://github.com/manikandaraj/MLabs/tree/master/GWT/GWTClient
You've missed to finish reading the tutorial.
Direct quote from the tutorial :
The RequestBuilder code is replaced by a call to the getJson method. So you no longer need the following code in the refreshWatchList method:
RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, url);
try {
Request request = builder.sendRequest(null, new RequestCallback() {
public void onError(Request request, Throwable exception) {
displayError("Couldn't retrieve JSON");
}
public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
if (200 == response.getStatusCode()) {
updateTable(asArrayOfStockData(response.getText()));
} else {
displayError("Couldn't retrieve JSON (" + response.getStatusText()
+ ")");
}
}
});
} catch (RequestException e) {
displayError("Couldn't retrieve JSON");
}
Which is broadly what you've got, and should be replaced by a JSNI function given in the tutorial a few lines below :
/**
* Make call to remote server.
*/
public native static void getJson(int requestId, String url,
StockWatcher handler) /*-{
var callback = "callback" + requestId;
// [1] Create a script element.
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.setAttribute("src", url+callback);
script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
// [2] Define the callback function on the window object.
window[callback] = function(jsonObj) {
// [3]
handler.#com.google.gwt.sample.stockwatcher.client.StockWatcher::handleJsonResponse(Lcom/google/gwt/core/client/JavaScriptObject;)(jsonObj);
window[callback + "done"] = true;
}
