Unable to resolve host: URL No address associated with hostname

Question

I have an web service call to bring down a JSON object and it only works if I have the IP address and not the host name. I have been fine using IP addresses but now I need to ha

Answer 1

I fixed it by removing these lines

HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, 3000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParams, 7000);
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);

And replacing it with this code

HttpClient httpClient = MainActivity.createHttpClient();


public static HttpClient createHttpClient(){
    try {
        KeyStore trustStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
        trustStore.load(null, null);

        SSLSocketFactory sf = new MySSLSocketFactory(trustStore);
        sf.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);

        HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, 15000);
        HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, 5000);

        SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
        registry.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
        registry.register(new Scheme("https", sf, 443));

        ClientConnectionManager ccm = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, registry);

        return new DefaultHttpClient(ccm, params);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return new DefaultHttpClient();
    }
}
