Making a HTTPS request using Android Volley

Question

I am trying to make a https request using this code:

RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext());
request = new Request

        

Answer 1

If you are using volley and want to HTTPS request or SSL Certified service then you can choose this easiest way : -->

Step --> 1. keep .cer file into res/raw/ folder.

Step --> 2. Use this method and replace .cer file name with your .cer file and replace your host name also.

private SSLSocketFactory getSocketFactory() {

    CertificateFactory cf = null;
    try {

        cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
        InputStream caInput = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.cert_name);
        Certificate ca;
        try {

            ca = cf.generateCertificate(caInput);
            Log.e("CERT", "ca=" + ((X509Certificate) ca).getSubjectDN());
        } finally {
            caInput.close();
        }


        String keyStoreType = KeyStore.getDefaultType();
        KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(keyStoreType);
        keyStore.load(null, null);
        keyStore.setCertificateEntry("ca", ca);


        String tmfAlgorithm = TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm();
        TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(tmfAlgorithm);
        tmf.init(keyStore);


        HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier = new HostnameVerifier() {
            @Override
            public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {

                Log.e("CipherUsed", session.getCipherSuite());
                return hostname.compareTo("10.199.89.68")==0; //The Hostname of your server.

            }
        };


        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hostnameVerifier);
        SSLContext context = null;
        context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

        context.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(), null);
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(context.getSocketFactory());

        SSLSocketFactory sf = context.getSocketFactory();


        return sf;

    } catch (CertificateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (KeyStoreException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return  null;
}

Step --> 3. Replace this line "RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);" with "RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this, new HurlStack(null, getSocketFactory()));" in request of volley.
