Question

I tired to connect my app with the remote server and pass few credentials to it, but i am always getting a same response from the server. I tried changing all the parameter value and other request header values that i am passing, but still i can’t reach the exact solution. I need to you, whether am i using the correct way to ping with the server and to pass the values.

Below is the code that i am using , Please let me know if i have gone wrong somewhere.

// HttpServiceConnection.java

                if (_connection != null)
                    try {

     else {

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

}
    //System.out.println("Response :" + response);
    return response;

}

}

I am getting a response like {"code":0,"err":"Missing 'method'."}

Any Help is Appreciable….

Thanks

Try this out when you’re wanting to pass data to the server:

//encode your data to send
URLEncodedPostData encoder = new URLEncodedPostData(null, false);
encoder.encode("email", email);
encoder.encode("method", "login");
encoder.encode("uid", uid);
encoder.encode("password", pass);

//Now you open up an output stream to write to the connection
OutputStream os = _connection.openOutputStream();
os.write(encoder.getBytes();
os.flush();

And then continue with the rest of your logic
