Answer 1

THIS WORK only https://stackoverflow.com/a/5614243/7198554 ....

soapEnvelope.headerOut = new Element[1];

this - > SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope NAMESPACE this -> http://tempuri.org/ my code=>

public Element buildAuthHeader() {
Element h = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "AuthHeader");
Element username = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "Username");
username.addChild(Node.TEXT, "test");
h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, username);
// Element pass = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "pass");
// pass.addChild(Node.TEXT, pass);
// h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, pass);
return h;

In VS C#

public class AuthHeader : SoapHeader
{
public string Username;
//public string Password;
}

You most probably need to include the following in your Android manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 3

Try this. This worked for me, consuming .Net service from android application. I have used ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.8-jar-with-dependencies.jar

String NAMESPACE = "http://www.namespace.com/";
String METHOD_NAME = "MethodName";
String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.namespace.com/MethodName";
String URL = "https://www.namespace.com/services/Service.asmx";

      SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
          // Set all input params   
          request.addProperty("property", "value");   
          SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
         // Enable the below property if consuming .Net service
     envelope.dotNet = true;
     envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

     HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
     try 
     {
         List<HeaderProperty> headerList = new ArrayList<HeaderProperty>();
         headerList.add(new HeaderProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + org.kobjects.base64.Base64.encode("username:password".getBytes())));

         androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope, headerList);
         SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();
         //response.getProperty(0).toString();
     }
     catch(Exception e)
     {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }

Answer 4

Have you tried HttpTranspostBasicAuth?

Here is the reference information: http://ksoap2.sourceforge.net/doc/api/org/ksoap2/transport/HttpTransportBasicAuth.html

Answer 5

See this. I have implemented a simple code that calls a local SOAP web service(.asmx) from Android application.

It is a simple web service to authenticate user using username and password.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Answer 6

At the linked question to this one, the second arg of the HeaderProperty does not have a colon in it - it would be "Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz" - maybe that's the problem? (Which one is correct?)
