POSTing a DateTime from Android to a WCF RESTful JSON Service

Question

I\'m trying to send a DateTime as a parameter to a method exposed over a WCF RESTful service with JSON encoding. The request looks like this:

POST h         


        

Answer 1

This is code I use to send from Android Java to .NET WebApp. Create a JSON object with a date in the W3C XML schema:

Calendar myCalendarObj = Calendar.getInstance(); // Snap a moment in time

JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(); // Create a JSON object (org.json.JSONObject)

SimpleDateFormat jsonDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"); // from java.text.SimpleDateFormat
String senddate = jsonDateFormat.format(myCalendarObj.getTime());
jObj.put("a_date_field", senddate);
