How-to: Android as a RESTful Client
This is a how-to focused on creating a RESTful java object at Android. I’ve used HTTPClient, HTTPEntry, HTTPGet, HTTPResponse, JSONArray and JSONObject classes. I think it’ll be useful if we need to use a web-service from client application.
I’ve implemented a simple Java Object called RestClient which connects to a given Rest-JSON service. After connection, this object prints response content. Using this content, a JSONObject created. Then, RestClient prints the JSONObject’s content, parses all values of this object and prints them as well. And as a last job, RestClient pushes a sample value to the JSONObject.
I’ve uploaded RestClient. Hope it’ll be useful.
P.s: To get access to internet at Android, following field must be included to AndroidManifest.xml file of the project.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
