OkHttp Post Body as JSON
So, back when I was using Koush's Ion, I was able to add a json body to my posts with a simple .setJsonObjectBody(json).asJsonObject()
I'm moving over to OkHttp, and I really don't see a good way to do that. I'm getting error 400's all over the place.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've even tried manually formatting it as a json string.
String reason = menuItem.getTitle().toString();
JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
json.addProperty("Reason", reason);
String url = mBaseUrl + "/" + id + "/report";
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.header("X-Client-Type", "Android")
.url(url)
.post(RequestBody
.create(MediaType
.parse("application/json"),
"{\"Reason\": \"" + reason + "\"}"
))
.build();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new com.squareup.okhttp.Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Request request, IOException throwable) {
throwable.printStackTrace();
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
if (!response.isSuccessful()) throw new IOException(
"Unexpected code " + response);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(context, "Report Received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
});
/*Ion.with(getContext(), url)
.setHeader("X-Client-Type", "Android")
.setJsonObjectBody(json)
.asJsonObject()
.setCallback(new FutureCallback<JsonObject>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted(Exception e, JsonObject result) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Report Received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});*/
Just use JSONObject.toString();
method.
And have a look at OkHttp's tutorial:
public static final MediaType JSON
= MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
String post(String url, String json) throws IOException {
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(json, JSON); // new
// RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(JSON, json); // old
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.post(body)
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
return response.body().string();
}
You can create your own JSONObject
then toString()
.
Remember run it in the background thread like doInBackground
in AsyncTask
.
OkHttp version > 4:
// create your json here
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
try {
jsonObject.put("KEY1", "VALUE1");
jsonObject.put("KEY2", "VALUE2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
val client = OkHttpClient()
val mediaType = "application/json; charset=utf-8".toMediaType()
val body = jsonObject.toString().toRequestBody(mediaType)
val request: Request = Request.Builder()
.url("https://YOUR_URL/")
.post(body)
.build()
var response: Response? = null
try {
response = client.newCall(request).execute()
val resStr = response.body!!.string()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
OkHttp version 3:
// create your json here
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
try {
jsonObject.put("KEY1", "VALUE1");
jsonObject.put("KEY2", "VALUE2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
MediaType JSON = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");
// put your json here
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(JSON, jsonObject.toString());
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://YOUR_URL/")
.post(body)
.build();
Response response = null;
try {
response = client.newCall(request).execute();
String resStr = response.body().string();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
