Newline character in makeHttpRequest

Question

I am getting a java.lang.IllegalStateException: Target host must not be null, or set in parameters error. Is new line characters when making doing makeHttpRequest, or am I on the incorrect path here? Code:

        String url = "http://www.<myDomain>.co.za/insertTeamResultwithCode.php?Code="+code+
                "&Section="+section+
                "&Gender="+gender+
                "&WinningTeam="+newResult.getWinningTeam()+
                "&LosingTeam="+newResult.getLosingTeam()+
                "&FixtureD="+newResult.getDate()+
                "&FixtureT="+newResult.getTime()+
                "&Venue="+newResult.getVenue()+
                "&Court="+newResult.getCourt()+
                "&Texts="+newResult.getText();

        try 
        {
            String encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode(url, "UTF-8");

            JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
            JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(encodedUrl, "GET", isSuccessfull);

            try
            {
                boolean success = (json.getBoolean("isValid"));
                DisplayToast(success);
            }
            catch (JSONException d)
            {
                d.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

And logcat error:

Answer 1

You should not do encoding of complete URL as it will also encode host part like this :

http%3A%2F%2Fwww.%3CmyDomain%3E.co.za%2FinsertTeamResultwithCode.php

This will fail, since it is not able to parse this url.

You should encode only parameters passed to this URL.
