Question

HttpResponse response = mHttpClient.execute(mHttpGet);

    if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 201){

    }
    .....

I have different statuses and I need to handle all them to show later for appropriate status appropriate dialog message.

What is the better way of handling HTTP response statuses?

Answer 1

Another way is as follows:

1. Put these status codes and corresponding messages in a property file.
   Your could do something like
   staus_201= Message for status 201

2. When you receive a status, retrieve the corresponding message from the property files (see example )and display them.

3. The advantage of this is: for any new status, you won’t have to do any code change. Just add the new entry in property file and you are good to go.
