I have an android application that calls my cloud SQL server through a PHP page.
However, when I send a HTTPRequest to my PHP page, while using a JSONParser to translate the data, the inputs (EditText) from my Android App page don't seem to carry over.
Here's the Android Java Code:
public class login extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
private AnimatedGifImageView animatedGifImageView;
public EditText user, pass;
private Button mSubmit, mRegister;
// Progress Dialog
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
//testing on Emulator:
private static final String LOGIN_URL = "(my php page)";
//JSON element ids from response of php script:
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_MESSAGE = "message";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
user = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUsername);
pass = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
animatedGifImageView = ((AnimatedGifImageView) findViewById(R.id.animatedGifImageView));
animatedGifImageView.setAnimatedGif(R.raw.animated_gif_big, TYPE.AS_IS);
//setup input fields
//setup buttons
mSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);
//register listeners
mSubmit.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btnLogin:
new AttemptLogin().execute();
break;
case R.id.btnSignUp:
Intent i = new Intent(this, register.class);
startActivity(i);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
class AttemptLogin extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
/**
* Before starting background thread Show Progress Dialog
* */
boolean failure = false;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(login.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Checking Credentials...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Check for success tag
int success;
String username = user.getText().toString();
String password = pass.getText().toString();
try {
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("etUsername", username));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("etPassword", password));
Log.d("request!", "starting");
// getting product details by making HTTP request
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(
LOGIN_URL, "POST", params);
// check your log for json response
Log.d("Login attempt", json.toString());
// json success tag
success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
Log.d("Login Successful!", json.toString());
Intent i = new Intent(login.this, LoginLoading.class);
finish();
startActivity(i);
return json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);
}else{
Log.d("Login Failure!", json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE));
return json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
/**
* After completing background task Dismiss the progress dialog
* **/
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog once product deleted
pDialog.dismiss();
if (file_url != null){
Toast.makeText(login.this, file_url, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}
And here's my JSONParser Code:
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(final String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// Construct the client and the HTTP request.
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
// Execute the POST request and store the response locally.
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
// Extract data from the response.
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
// Open an inputStream with the data content.
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
// Create a BufferedReader to parse through the inputStream.
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
// Declare a string builder to help with the parsing.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Declare a string to store the JSON object data in string form.
String line = null;
// Build the string until null.
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "
");
}
// Close the input stream.
is.close();
// Convert the string builder data to an actual string.
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// Try to parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// Return the JSON Object.
return jObj;
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
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 + "
");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
And here's the part that dies on my php page:
<?php if (empty ($_POST['username'])) {$response['success'] = 0; die(json_encode($response)); exit (0);} ?>
what am I missing?
