Android Volley Post Request - Workaround for JsonArrayRequest

Question

I understand that POST requests using JsonArrayRequest are not available out of the box with Volley, but I saw this post here that talked about adding a constructor to handl

Answer 1

Create a class and extend JsonArrayRequest then override

@Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
    HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
    params.put("name", "value");
    return params;
}

and add a new constructor and in it call

super(Method.POST, url, null, listener, errorListener);

or use this class

public class PostJsonArrayRequest extends JsonRequest<JSONArray> {

    /**
     * Creates a new request.
     * @param url URL to fetch the JSON from
     * @param listener Listener to receive the JSON response
     * @param errorListener Error listener, or null to ignore errors.
     */
    public PostJsonArrayRequest(String url, Response.Listener<JSONArray> listener, Response.ErrorListener errorListener) {
        super(Method.POST, url, null, listener, errorListener);
    }

    @Override
    protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
        HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
        params.put("name", "value");
        return params;
    }

    @Override
    protected Response<JSONArray> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
        try {
            String jsonString =
                    new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers));
            return Response.success(new JSONArray(jsonString),
                    HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
        } catch (JSONException je) {
            return Response.error(new ParseError(je));
        }
    }
}
