Example of HTTP GET Request using HttpClient in Android
import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.net.URI; import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet; import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient; public class TestHttpGet { public void executeHttpGet() throws Exception { BufferedReader in = null; try { HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet request = new HttpGet(); request.setURI(new URI("http://w3mentor.com/")); HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); in = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent())); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(""); String line = ""; String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator"); while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line + NL); } in.close(); String page = sb.toString(); System.out.println(page); } finally { if (in != null) { try { in.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } }
We can add parameters to an HTTP Get request as
HttpGet method = new HttpGet("http://w3mentor.com/download.aspx?key=valueGoesHere"); client.execute(method);
