android java.net.ProtocolException: Connection already established

Question

public static Bitmap getImage(String address) throws Exception {

    Bitmap imgmap = null;
    InputStream is = null;

    URL url = new URL(address);

    HttpURLC         


        

Answer 1

Thats because the function setRequestMethod() has to be called before the connection is made. Check this link

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#setRequestMethod(java.lang.String)

So better call it before openConnection(). Or dont call it at all.
