Error :java.io.FileNotFoundException

Question

In my project I am posting json values to my server using the http POST method. But while posting I am getting this error message:

W/System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://10.1.7.95:2403/beacons
W/System.err:     at com.android.okhttp.internal.huc.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:238)

My PostMethod is this:

 public static String callPostMethod(String urlString ,String Json){
 Log.d(TAG,"URL going to call " + urlString + ":::"+Json );
  HttpURLConnection httpcon;
  URL url = null;
  String result = null;
  try{

  url = new URL(urlString.toString());
  httpcon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
  httpcon.setDoOutput(true);
  httpcon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
  httpcon.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
  httpcon.setRequestMethod("POST");
  httpcon.connect();

  //Write         
  OutputStream os = httpcon.getOutputStream();
  BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
  writer.write(Json);
  writer.close();
  os.close();

  //Read      
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpcon.getInputStream(),"UTF-8"));

  String line = null; 
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();         

  while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {  
       sb.append(line); 
  }       

  br.close();  
  result = sb.toString();

  } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  } 
    return result;
 }

This is the Json data:

    {
    "uuid": "B9402F30-F5F8-466E-AFI9-25556B57FE6D",
    "minor": "43406",
    "major": "23236",
    "title": "Virtual Beacon",
    "message": "Virtual Beacon message"
    }

Where I'm wrong?

Answer 1

You never set your HttpURLConnection to allow input. Try setting httpcon.setDoInput(true); in your HttpURLConnection settings.

Also, you might try removing the line httpcon.setRequestMethod("POST"); Calling httpcon.setDoOutput(true); already defaults your connection method to POST, and is therefore unneeded. Plus, setRequestMethod() is used for other settings according to the docs:

HttpURLConnection uses the GET method by default. It will use POST if setDoOutput(true) has been called. Other HTTP methods (OPTIONS, HEAD, PUT, DELETE and TRACE) can be used with setRequestMethod(String).
