Answer 1

add this to your code :

TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
           new X509TrustManager() {
               @Override
               public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                   return new X509Certificate[0];
               }

               @Override
               public void checkClientTrusted(
                       java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
               }

               @Override
               public void checkServerTrusted(
                       java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
               }
           }
       };

       try {
           SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
           sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
           HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
       } catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
       }
