I have an web service call to bring down a JSON object and it only works if I have the IP address and not the host name. I have been fine using IP addresses but now I need to have the host name.
Here is my code
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(); HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams(); HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, 3000); HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParams, 7000); DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams); HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(URL); try { HashMap<String,String> params = new HashMap<String,String>(); // Login info params.put("username", edtUserName.getText().toString()); params.put("password", edtPass.getText().toString()); params.put("deviceOS", "Android"); params.put("deviceOSVersion", android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE); params.put("language", "0"); //JSON object holding the login info JSONObject holder = new JSONObject(params); StringEntity se = new StringEntity(holder.toString()); httpost.setEntity(se); httpost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); //Executing the call HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpost); StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine(); int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode(); if (statusCode == 200) { HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream)); String line; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { stringBuilder.append(line); } inputStream.close(); } else { returnCode = -1; Log.d("JSON", "Failed to download file"); } } catch (Exception e) { returnCode = -1; Log.d("readJSONFeed", e.getLocalizedMessage()); } return stringBuilder.toString();
I dont know why that doesn't work. I am testing on a phone with Wifi connection, My manifest has the <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
and <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
This web service does work. Just not on Android
If anyone has an idea that would be great, Thanks.
