Volley JsonObjectRequest Post parameters no longer work

Solution 1:

You just have to make a JSONObject from your HashMap of parameters:

String url = "https://www.youraddress.com/";

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap();
params.put("first_param", 1);
params.put("second_param", 2);

JSONObject parameters = new JSONObject(params);

JsonObjectRequest jsonRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, parameters, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
        //TODO: handle success
    }
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
        error.printStackTrace();
        //TODO: handle failure
    }
});

Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(jsonRequest);

Solution 2:

I ended up using Volley's StringRequest instead, because I was using too much valuable time trying to make JsonObjectRequest work.

RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url ="http://myserveraddress";

StringRequest strRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
                new Response.Listener<String>()
                {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response)
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), response, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                },
                new Response.ErrorListener()
                {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                })
        {
            @Override
            protected Map<String, String> getParams()
            {
                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
                params.put("tag", "test");
                return params;
            }
        };

queue.add(strRequest);

This worked for me. Its just as simple as JsonObjectRequest, but uses a String instead.
