Working with an OAuth API I need to retrieve the access_token attribute. Send the login information works fine and I do get a proper response back. The response is formatted as such:
access_token=SOMETOKEN&login=SOMELOGIN&apiKey=SOMEAPIKEY
Currently I’m getting the response as such:
org.apache.http.HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
String content = convertStreamToString(response.getEntity().getContent());
Where the second line gets the String of the content as described. So what’s coming back is an URL Encoded string, and I need to get the access_token value of that. However I’m not sure how to do this, I can’t seem to find a method or anything for doing this, Would I have to parse it or is there some other methods to do it?
I actually just found a solution to this located in the Twitter Api Me (http://kenai.com/projects/twitterapime/pages/Home) StringUtil class, I’m not gonna paste it here, but its open sorce so if anyone needs it, go get it from there.
