Android App crashes when requesting HttpResponse<JsonNode>

Question

I'm currently developing a news app with FAROO Web Search, but when the app looks for the news with the API code it crashes. I don't think it's the API's fault because in the tests in RapidApi it works just fine. I've already added the internet permission in the Android Manifest and have been using it with stable connection. [![API test][1]][1] As you can see in the image, when testing the endpoint in the web it obtains the results without problem.

I've also tried to add "implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5'" even excluding some files because they generated more errors.

Here´s the main activity

static final ArrayList<String> title_array = new ArrayList<String>();
static final ArrayList<String> notice_array = new ArrayList<String>();
static final ArrayList<String> author_array = new ArrayList<String>();
ListView list;
BaseAdapter2 adapter;
ProgressBar loader;

@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    System.out.println("Enter");
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_news_activity);
    list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listNews);
    loader = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.loader);
    if(InternetAvaliable(this))
    new TheTask().execute();
}



class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
        String str = null;

        try {
            System.out.println("Here1");

                HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.get("https://faroo-faroo-web-search.p.rapidapi.com/api?q=food")
                        .header("X-RapidAPI-Host", "faroo-faroo-web-search.p.rapidapi.com")
                        .header("X-RapidAPI-Key", "f18432002emshe33f07d9b71559bp125dd7jsn2d9f1840345f")
                        .asJson();

                System.out.println("Here2");
                str = response.toString();

        }
        catch(UnirestException exception){exception.printStackTrace();}

        return str;
    }


    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);

        String response = result.toString();

        try{

            JSONArray new_array = new JSONArray(response);

            for(int i = 0; i < new_array.length(); i++){

                try{
                JSONObject jsonObject = new_array.getJSONObject(i);
                if(jsonObject.getBoolean("news")) {
                    title_array.add(jsonObject.getString("title").toString());
                    notice_array.add(jsonObject.getString("kwic").toString());
                    author_array.add(jsonObject.getString("author").toString());
                }
                }catch (JSONException e){e.printStackTrace();}

            }

            adapter = new BaseAdapter2(NewsActivity.this, title_array, notice_array, author_array);
            list.setAdapter(adapter);


        } catch (JSONException e){e.printStackTrace();}
    }

}

}

And the error is here

Answer 1

Try with okhttp request

Following is the request

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

Request request = new Request.Builder()
  .url("https://faroo-faroo-web-search.p.rapidapi.com/api?q=food")
  .get()
  .addHeader("x-rapidapi-host", "faroo-faroo-web-search.p.rapidapi.com")
  .addHeader("x-rapidapi-key", "f18432002emshe33f07d9b71559bp125dd7jsn2d9f1840345f")
  .addHeader("cache-control", "no-cache")
  .addHeader("postman-token", "896be9fc-b0c5-e8eb-5f75-df68fcefab84")
  .build();

Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

And then get body fron response like

String response =response.body.string()

I hope that will help and dont forget to add okhttp dependency
