how to make httpPost call with json encoded body?
I was making a common mistake sequence of json object was wrong. For example, I was sending it like first_name, email, etc. where as the correct sequence was email, first_name.
My code:
boolean result = false;
HttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
String message;
HttpPost p = new HttpPost(url);
JSONObject object = new JSONObject();
try {
object.put("updates", updates);
object.put("mobile", mobile);
object.put("last_name", lastname);
object.put("first_name", firstname);
object.put("email", email);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
try {
message = object.toString();
p.setEntity(new StringEntity(message, "UTF8"));
p.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
HttpResponse resp = hc.execute(p);
if (resp != null) {
if (resp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 204)
result = true;
}
Log.d("Status line", "" + resp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
