I use this code below, it works perfectly in Android 2.3.3. However, in 4.0+ it can’t connect to database somehow. I saw some posts about you need to get it in a asynch class. I also tried that, but I can’t seems it to work. I probably use it wrong, but it is hard for me to understand.
public class connector extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
TextView txt;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getServerData(null);
}
//i use my real ip here
public String getServerData(String returnString) {
System.out.println("going to connector class");
InputStream is = null;
final String KEY_121 = "http://10.0.0.128/connector.php";
String result = "";
//the year data to send
// ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
// nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("year","1970"));
//http post
try{
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(KEY_121);
// httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
}
//convert response to string
try{
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result=sb.toString();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
}
//parse json data
try{
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.i("log_tag","ID: "+json_data.getInt("ID")+
", \nActara: "+json_data.getString("Actara")
);
//Get an output to the screen
returnString += "\n\t" + jArray.getJSONObject(i);
}
}catch(JSONException e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
return returnString;
}
}
Logcat error (on 4.0+):
11-12 12:02:35.658: E/log_tag(14083): Error in http connection android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException
11-12 12:02:35.658: E/log_tag(14083): Error converting result java.lang.NullPointerException
11-12 12:02:35.663: E/log_tag(14083): Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: End of input at character 0 of
Only the first error line is important, because it can’t connect to a database, it gives a nullPointer (2nd and 3rd error).
This is what I tried in Asynch:
public class connector extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
TextView txt;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
}
public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends
AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {
InputStream is = null;
final String KEY_121 = "http://10.0.0.128/connector.php";
String result = "";
String returnString = "";
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
System.out.println("onPreExecute");
}
protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
try{
System.out.println("background in progress");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(KEY_121);
// httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
}
//convert response to string
try{
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result=sb.toString();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
}
//parse json data
try{
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.i("log_tag","ID: "+json_data.getInt("ID")+
", \nActara: "+json_data.getString("Actara")
);
//Get an output to the screen
returnString += "\n\t" + jArray.getJSONObject(i);
}
}catch(JSONException e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
}
Someone that can help me? I don’t know for sure what the real cause is why it isn’t working for 4.0+.
If you need more info, just say it, and I will post it.
Code can be a bit messy, I didn’t really “clean” it up yet properly.
Ok right…
After searching for few hours, making this question, then 10 minutes later, you find a solution…
Option 1:
I added this line:
But I reccomend NOT to use option 1, this is a bad solution for real. Use option 2!
//===========================================================================
Option 2:
Used this tutorial to make a proper ASyncTask: http://www.elvenware.com/charlie/development/android/SimpleHttpGetThread.html
//===========================================================================
Used ASyncTask as final (option 2).
