Question

I’m working on an Android app that connects to .NET webservices. I use the Apache HttpClient to connect using the HttpGet method. The method that makes the actual call has the following code:

public static String httpGet(String methodName, List<NameValuePair> params) {

    String methodURL = BASE_URL + "/"+methodName;
    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(methodURL+"?"+URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "UTF-8"));

So I take a List<NameValuePair> object and make the whole get URL from it. For some reason, the webservice does not accept the value parameters unless they are enclosed in quotation marks.

Is there a way to get the parameters enclosed in quotes without have to manually add the "\"" to each and every parameter in the calls…?

Answer 1

If you can’t change the resolution of the Web Service on the server side, you could have a helper method that would do just that, add the quotation marks. Just a thought.
