I need to call an api that expects a string array as a POST parameter. So for an example of an API definition:
POST api/names
POST parameter expected is an array of names and some other attributes like below:
{ names: [ "John", "Bill" ], department: "Engineering" }
I am currently using a custom Volley framework as described in the Android documentation but it seems like the parameters from Volley can only be passed as a Map of (String, String as key and value). I already have the array from my Android app, ready to be passed as a post parameter but this Volley expects a String.
I tried to convert my array using Arrays.toString(myStringArray) and passed it like below but it does not work.
String[] namesArray = new String[1];
namesArray[0] = "Bill";
Map<String, String> mapParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
mapParams.put("department", "Computer Science");
mapParams.put("names", Arrays.toString(namesArray));
// Then call the Volley here passing the mapParams.
How can I call the api that expects a String of array when I can only use a String from Volley?
I will give you full code to post JsonObject on volley, through POST method.
JSONObject js = new JSONObject();
try {
js.put("genderType", "MALE");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String url = "LINK TO POST/";
// Make request for JSONObject
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjReq = new JsonObjectRequest(
Request.Method.POST, url, js,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.e(TAG, "Response_Code from Volley" + "\n" + response.toString() + " i am king");
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
VolleyLog.e(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
NetworkResponse response = error.networkResponse;
if (error instanceof ServerError && response != null) {
try {
String res = new String(response.data,
HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers, "utf-8"));
// Now you can use any deserializer to make sense of data
Log.e(TAG, "onErrorResponse: of uploadUser" + res);
// JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(res);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) {
// Couldn't properly decode data to string
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}) {
@Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
return headers;
}
};
Log.e(TAG, "uploadUser: near volley new request ");
// Adding request to request queue
Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(jsonObjReq);
}
Put anything you need in the js object with key and its values
Use JsonObjectRequest
and simply pass a JSONObject
. There's a full example here
public void makePostRequest(final Map<String,String> myMap,String MEDIA_URL,final VolleyResponse callback)
{
VolleySingleton VS;
Log.e("URL",MEDIA_URL);
VS=VS.getInstance();
RequestQueue rq=VS.getRequestQueue();
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST,MEDIA_URL,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String s) {
callback.onSuccess(s);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError volleyError) {
callback.onError();
}
}){
@Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String,String> params = new Hashtable<String, String>();
Iterator<Map.Entry<String, String>> iterator = myMap.entrySet().iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<String,String> pairs = (Map.Entry<String,String>)iterator.next();
String value = pairs.getValue();
String key = pairs.getKey();
params.put(key,value);
Log.e("Key","Value"+value);
}
return params;
}
};
//Creating a Request Queue
// RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
DefaultRetryPolicy retryPolicy = new DefaultRetryPolicy(0, -1, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT);
stringRequest.setRetryPolicy(retryPolicy);
//Adding request to the queue
rq.add(stringRequest);
}
Where the VolleyResponse is a simple custom interface like this
public interface VolleyResponse {
void onSuccess(String resp);
void onError();
}
