Question

I got struck because of IllegalStateException in the following code. Can anybody please help me? Code:

java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Content has been consumed

Answer 1

You can consume Content only at once from an Entity

in the line :

final JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));

you have consumed content and again you are using the same at here:

Log.e("XXX",EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));

That why it is causing IllegalStateException: Content has been consumed

So the solution is here:

String _response=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity); // content will be consume only once
final JSONObject jObject=new JSONObject(_response);
Log.e("XXX",_response);
