Android HttpRequest class (version 2.1)

Version of of this class had some bugs so I corrected them and here is the latest version :)

Enjoy!

/**
* HTTP Request class
*
* You can use this class and distribute it as long as you give proper credit
* and place and leave this notice intact :). Check my blog for updated
* version(s) of this class (http://moazzam-khan.com)
*
* Usage Examples:
*
* Get Request
* --------------------------------
* HttpData data = HttpRequest.get("http://example.com/index.php?user=hello");
* System.out.println(data.content);
*
* Post Request
* --------------------------------
* HttpData data = HttpRequest.post("http://xyz.com", "var1=val&var2=val2");
* System.out.println(data.content);
* Enumeration<String> keys = dat.cookies.keys(); // cookies
* while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
* 		System.out.println(keys.nextElement() + " = " +
* 				data.cookies.get(keys.nextElement() + "rn");
*	}
* Enumeration<String> keys = dat.headers.keys(); // headers
* while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
* 		System.out.println(keys.nextElement() + " = " +
* 				data.headers.get(keys.nextElement() + "rn");
*	}
*
* Upload a file
* --------------------------------
* ArrayList<File> files = new ArrayList();
* files.add(new File("/etc/someFile"));
* files.add(new File("/home/user/anotherFile"));
*
* Hashtable<String, String> ht = new Hashtable<String, String>();
* ht.put("var1", "val1");
*
* HttpData data = HttpRequest.post("http://xyz.com", ht, files);
* System.out.println(data.content);

You will also need the class below:

      public String content;
      public Hashtable cookies = new Hashtable();
      public Hashtable headers = new Hashtable();

HTTP Request class for Android

Here is a class that can be used to make HTTP get and HTTP post requests. I haven't commented everything but the usage should be pretty clear from the method signatures.

Note: This is for Android 1.5.

[java]
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;

import org.apache.commons.*;
import android.util.Log;

public class HttpRequest {

/**
* HttpGet - doesn't read cookies
*
* @param sUrl
* @return
*/
public static HttpData get(String sUrl) {
HttpData ret = new HttpData();
String str;
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
try {
URL url = new URL(sUrl);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
buff.append(str);
}
ret.content = buff.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("HttpRequest", e.toString());
}
return ret;
}

/**
* HTTP post request
*
* @param sUrl
* @param ht
* @return
* @throws Exception
*/
public static HttpData post(String sUrl, Hashtable ht) throws Exception {
StringBuffer data = new StringBuffer();
Enumeration keys = ht.keys();
while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
data.append(URLEncoder.encode(keys.nextElement(), "UTF-8"));
data.append("=");
data.append(URLEncoder.encode(ht.get(keys.nextElement()), "UTF-8"));
data.append("&");
}
return HttpRequest.post(sUrl, data.toString());
}
/**
* HTTP post request
*
* @param sUrl
* @param data
* @return
*/
public static HttpData post(String sUrl, String data) {
StringBuffer ret = new StringBuffer();
HttpData dat = new HttpData();
String header;
try {
// Send data
URL url = new URL(sUrl);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(data);
wr.flush();

// Get the response

Map> headers = conn.getHeaderFields();
Set>> hKeys = headers.entrySet();
for (Iterator>> i = hKeys.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Entry> m = i.next();

Log.w("HEADER_KEY", m.getKey() + "");
dat.headers.put(m.getKey(), m.getValue().toString());
if (m.getKey().equals("set-cookie"))
dat.cookies.put(m.getKey(), m.getValue().toString());
}
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
ret.append(line);
}

wr.close();
rd.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ERROR", "ERROR IN CODE:"+e.toString());
}
dat.content = ret.toString();
return dat;
}
}
[/java]

You will also need this class along with it.

[java]

import java.util.Hashtable;

public class HttpData {
public String content;
public Hashtable cookies = new Hashtable();
public Hashtable headers = new Hashtable();
}
[/java]

Android 1.5 SDK Released !

Google has released Android 1.5 SDK. This release is based on the cupcake branch in Android's repository. Cupcake was a modified version of the SDK written by a group of independent developers and functioned better than the 1.0 SDK. Android 1.5 SDK also has other enchancements like a better profiler. For a list of all changes and enhancements, please visit: http://developer.android.com/sdk/RELEASENOTES.html
