Get header from HttpResponse in Android

Question

Is there a way to get the value of a specific header using the HttpResponse object returned by the HttpClient execute() method in Andr

Answer 1

There are several ways to get specific headers. HttpResponse inherits from HttpMessage, which provides the following header retrieval methods:

• Header getFirstHeader(String name)
• Header[] getHeaders(String name)
• Header getLastHeader(String name)

In your case, you probably want getFirstHeader(String). Headers can contain multiple values, hence the Header[] array return from getHeaders(); if you only expect there to be a single header, getFirstHeader(String) should suffice.
