Getting JSON response Android

Question

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(URL); try { StringEntity documentStringified = new StringEntity(Obj.toString()); httpPost.setEntity(documentStringified); } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { Log.d("UnsupportedEncodingException", e.toString()); } try { HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost); Log.d("Response", response.toString()); } catch (IOException e) { Log.d("IOException", e.toString()); }

I am not able to get the response. How to print the response in Logger or console. response.toString() or response.getEntity.toString() does not work.

Should i set the Content-type as "application/json".

The general approach is:

String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

Moreover, you can check response code. Sometimes, requests fail.

int status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); if (status == 200) { String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()); }

One last question, how do i set the content-type : 'application/json' to my http

For the request, you can use httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

Get the InputStream out of the response, and then use a Scanner to consume its contents.

String responseContent = new Scanner(inputStream).useDelimiter("\\A").next();

useDelimiter("\\A") means "the delimiter is the end of the stream", so next() consumes all of the content.
