Android Executing HTTP Post - java

So I am trying to connect my chat application to a server, I am using this code, but the problem with this code is that it is using hardcoded message such as "And Dev is cool" but I have a text field where I can enter my message and send that to the server, How do I change the code so it takes input from user and not hardcoded messages?
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}

You need a to add an EditText to your xml view. then do
EditText yourText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.'your edit text id');
You should have a button that the user clicks when they've entered their text that then launches the thread for internet and gets editText.getText() to send into the HTTP

Android Post data with CustomHttpClient.executeHttpGet

I am calling a url by following method
try {
urlcont= URLEncoder.encode(urlcont, "utf-8");
response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpGet("http://www.myurlhere");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
URL called successfully but I want to post some data (in String urlcont ) so i can get it by $_POST['urlcont'];
Thanks

// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header

Android post to html

I use this code in my app to post:
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {

Their is a way to do a manager for the posts or some way to do it fater and to make sure that after this code run I know that it dose all it's needs to recive answer from the server?

Android sending data to restful webservices

I am trying to send data from android smartphone to a restful webservice made in java using jersey library.
I saw the following answer on how to do it:
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Hi"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
Although this seems about right i have a doubt in the nameValuePairs variable.
Particularly in this part:
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
If i have a webservice that has the following signature:
#POST
#Path("/post/location")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response createLocation(Loc location)
what would be the "id" part in the nameValuePairs variable, it would be location or Loc?.
try this
//
String url = 'url_to_you_server_api.dev/postservice'
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
params.put("id","id");
params.put("hi","hi");
StringEntity jsonEntity = new StringEntity( params.toString() );
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
request.addHeader("Content-Type","application/json");
request.setEntity(jsonEntity);
response = client.execute(request);
if you service receive a entity it might be a json or something not just key-value params that correspond to form-data.

Android post request using Httppost without urlencode parameter

That's my code... is it possible to remove the urlencode?
I want to pass post parameters without urlencode them.
Thanks
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Hi"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
You can try something like this
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
BasicHttpEntity filter = new BasicHttpEntity();
filter.setContent(new ByteArrayInputStream("Filter=id :EQUALS: 12345 :AND: stringdata :EQUALS: hi".getBytes("UTF-8")));
httppost.setEntity(filter);
Thanks

postData cannot be resolved to a type

I'm new to Android programing. I'm trying to post some data to a server using post. I googled it up and came up with this:
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
My problem is I'm getting errors on the first line of this code:
postData cannot be resolved to a type
syntax error on token "{", delete this token
syntax error on token "void", # expected
I'm using Eclipse and I used Shift+Ctrl+o to get all the imports.
You problem (based on the information you've given so far) is that you're declaring the function postData outside of a class.
Functions in Java need to be declared in a class. Either, you've accidently close off the previous class by having one too many } (in which case you should have an error at the extra }), or you haven't declared a class.
The class could look something like this:
public class MyPoster {
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
}
