How to get HTTP response code for a URL in Java?

Please tell me the steps or code to get the response code of a particular URL.

HttpURLConnection:

URL url = new URL("http://example.com");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
connection.connect();

int code = connection.getResponseCode();

This is by no means a robust example; you'll need to handle IOExceptions and whatnot. But it should get you started.

If you need something with more capability, check out HttpClient.

URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com/humans.txt");
HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
int statusCode = http.getResponseCode();

You could try the following:

class ResponseCodeCheck 
{

    public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
    {

        URL url = new URL("http://google.com");
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        connection.connect();

        int code = connection.getResponseCode();
        System.out.println("Response code of the object is "+code);
        if (code==200)
        {
            System.out.println("OK");
        }
    }
}

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

public class API{
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
    {
        URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
        HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        int statusCode = http.getResponseCode();
        System.out.println(statusCode);
    }
}

This has worked for me :

            import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
            import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;  
            import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
            import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
            import java.io.BufferedReader;
            import java.io.InputStreamReader;



            public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {   
                        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
                        //args[0] ="http://hostname:port/xyz/zbc";
                        HttpGet request1 = new HttpGet(args[0]);
                        HttpResponse response1 = client.execute(request1);
                        int code = response1.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

                         try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader((response1.getEntity().getContent())));){
                            // Read in all of the post results into a String.
                            String output = "";
                            Boolean keepGoing = true;
                            while (keepGoing) {
                                String currentLine = br.readLine();          
                                if (currentLine == null) {
                                    keepGoing = false;
                                } else {
                                    output += currentLine;
                                }
                            }
                            System.out.println("Response-->"+output);   
                         }

                         catch(Exception e){
                              System.out.println("Exception"+e);  

                          }


                   }
