Json not working with HttpPost probably around setEntity

Question

I am using this code to send this to my php file. The file looks what is coming like this.

file_put_contents(\'dump.txt\', \"POST: \\n\" . print_r($_POST, true)          


        

Answer 1

the way I send JSON with my DefaultHttpClient in my app work perfectly:

public static HttpUriRequest createPostForJSONObject(
        JSONObject params, String url) {
    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
    post.setEntity(createStringEntity(params));
    return post;
}

private static HttpEntity createStringEntity(JSONObject params) {
    StringEntity se = null;
    try {
        se = new StringEntity(params.toString(), "UTF-8");
        se.setContentType("application/json; charset=UTF-8");
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to create StringEntity", e);
        exception = e;
    }
    return se;
}

in order to run this request in your code all you need to do is this:

public void postData(String url,JSONObject json) {
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    try {
          HttpPost post = createPostForJSONObject(json, url);
          HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post);
          // DO YOUR THING
    } catch Exception {
         // HANDLE EXCEPTION
    }
}
