Question

I am trying make a request and get response from server. Here is my HttpGet request.

public static String getAddress() throws Exception {
        final HttpGet get = new HttpGet("192.168.1.4:3000/api/1.0/geo/address/lookup");
    }

My server side is written by ruby on rails.

routes.rb

map.with_options(:controller => "geo") do |geo|
    geo.geo_lookup_address "/api/1.0/geo/address/lookup", :action => "lookup_address"

my controller is

class GeoController < ApiController
def lookup_address
      puts "lookup"
  end
end

my html is lookup_address.html.erb

<h1>GEO</h1>

When I type the address in browser(192.168.1.4:3000/api/1.0/geo/address/lookup) I see the result GEO, but when I use that in android application it doesn’t work I check and I have an exception on HttpGet request, but the problem is I can’t find out what’s execption exactly is.
is there any solution here?

Answer 1

Have you tried?

"http://192.168.1.4:3000/api/1.0/geo/address/lookup"

As I see in your question You missed http:// in your URL in HttpGet..

Also don’t forget to add permission in your Application’s Manifest file,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
