android http body,Android HTTPUrlConnection : how to set post data in http body?

问题

I've already created my HTTPUrlConnection :

String postData = "x=val1&y=val2";

URL url = new URL(strURL);

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

conn.setRequestMethod("POST");

conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

conn.setRequestProperty("Set-Cookie", sessionCookie);

conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + Integer.toString(postData.getBytes().length));

// How to add postData as http body?

conn.setUseCaches(false);

conn.setDoInput(true);

conn.setDoOutput(true);

I don't know how to set postData in http body. How to do so? Would I better use HttpPost instead?

Thanks for your help.

If you want to send String only try this way:

String str = "some string goes here";

byte[] outputInBytes = str.getBytes("UTF-8");

OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();

os.write( outputInBytes );

os.close();

But if you want to send as Json change Content type to:

conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/json");

and now our str we can write:

String str = "{\"x\": \"val1\",\"y\":\"val2\"}";

Hope it will help,

Guruparan's link in the comment above gives a really nice answer to this question. I highly recommend looking at it. Here is the principle that makes his solution work:

From what I understand, the HttpURLConnection represents the response body as an OutputStream. So you need to call something like:

get the connection's output stream

OutputStream op = conn.getOuputStream();

write the response body

op.write( [/*your string in bit form*/] );

close the output stream

op.close();

and then carry on your merry way with the connection (which you will still need to close).
