Question

I have a question that when we want to post a json request to a server it always returns org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream@44f4a1d0 when we want to print the response, so what is the means of this response?

Code:

  HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
                    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 10000); //Timeout Limit
                    HttpResponse response;
                    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
                    try{
                        HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://122.180.114.68/eqixmobile/siteservice/um/ibx");
                        json.put("username", ed_usrName.getText().toString());
                        json.put("password", ed_pass.getText().toString());
                        post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
                        post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                        StringEntity se = new StringEntity( "credentials: " + json.toString());  
                        se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
                        post.setEntity(se);
                        response = client.execute(post);
                        /*Checking response */
                        if(response!=null){
                            InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent(); 
                            //String str = response.getEntity().getContent().toString();//Get the data in the entity
                            System.out.println("This is service response:"+in);
                    }
                        else
                        {
                             System.out.println("This is no any service response:");
                        }
                    }
                    catch(Exception e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        //createDialog("Error", "Cannot Estabilish Connection");
                    }

The response you get from server is in inputstream so convert it in string then use it. like,

String result=null;
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
            // convert stream to string
            result = convertStreamToString(is); 
            result = result.replace("\n", "");

public static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) throws Exception {

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line = null;
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        sb.append(line + "\n");
    }
    is.close();
    return sb.toString();
}
