Parsing query strings on Android

Question

Java EE has ServletRequest.getParameterValues().

On non-EE platforms, URL.getQuery() simply returns a string.

What\'s the normal way to properly parse the qu

Answer 1

I have methods to achieve this:

1):

public static String getQueryString(String url, String tag) {
    String[] params = url.split("&");
    Map map = new HashMap();
    for (String param : params) {
        String name = param.split("=")[0];
        String value = param.split("=")[1];
        map.put(name, value);
    }

    Set keys = map.keySet();
    for (String key : keys) {
        if(key.equals(tag)){
         return map.get(key);
        }
        System.out.println("Name=" + key);
        System.out.println("Value=" + map.get(key));
    }
    return "";
}

2) and the easiest way to do this Using Uri class:

public static String getQueryString(String url, String tag) {
    try {
        Uri uri=Uri.parse(url);
        return uri.getQueryParameter(tag);
    }catch(Exception e){
        Log.e(TAG,"getQueryString() " + e.getMessage());
    }
    return "";
}

and this is an example of how to use either of two methods:

String url = "http://www.jorgesys.com/advertisements/publicidadmobile.htm?position=x46&site=reform&awidth=800&aheight=120";      
String tagValue = getQueryString(url,"awidth");

the value of tagValue is 800
