Http编程之HttpClient
在Android开发中,Android SDK附带了Apache的HttpClient,它是一个完善的客户端。它提供了对HTTP协议的全面支持,可以使用HttpClient的对象来执行HTTP GET和HTTP POST调用。
HTTP工作原理:
1.客户端(一般是指浏览器,这里是指自己写的程序)与服务器建立连接
2.建立连接后,客户端向服务器发送请求
3.服务器接收到请求后,向客户端发送响应信息
4.客户端与服务器断开连接
HttpClient的一般使用步骤:
1.使用DefaultHttpClient类实例化HttpClient对象
2.创建HttpGet或HttpPost对象,将要请求的URL通过构造方法传入HttpGet或HttpPost对象。
3.调用execute方法发送HTTP GET或HTTP POST请求,并返回HttpResponse对象。
4.通过HttpResponse接口的getEntity方法返回响应信息,并进行相应的处理。
最后记得要在AndroidManifest.xml文件添加网络权限
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
下面是具体的例子:
1.使用HttpClient来执行GET调用
在LogCat窗口就能看到输出的信息
- package com.lingdududu.http;
- import java.io.InputStream;
- import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
- import org.apache.http.HttpStatus;
- import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
- import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
- import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
- import android.app.Activity;
- import android.os.Bundle;
- import android.util.Log;
- public class HttpGetActivity extends Activity {
- String uri = "http://developer.android.com/";
- final String TAG_STRING = "TAG";
- @Override
- public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
- super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
- setContentView(R.layout.main);
- try {
- //得到HttpClient对象
- HttpClient getClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
- //得到HttpGet对象
- HttpGet request = new HttpGet(uri);
- //客户端使用GET方式执行请教,获得服务器端的回应response
- HttpResponse response = getClient.execute(request);
- //判断请求是否成功
- if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()==HttpStatus.SC_OK){
- Log.i(TAG_STRING, "请求服务器端成功");
- //获得输入流
- InputStream inStrem = response.getEntity().getContent();
- int result = inStrem.read();
- while (result != -1){
- System.out.print((char)result);
- result = inStrem.read();
- }
- //关闭输入流
- inStrem.close();
- }else {
- Log.i(TAG_STRING, "请求服务器端失败");
- }
- } catch (Exception e) {
- // TODO Auto-generated catch block
- e.printStackTrace();
- }
- }
- }
使用HTTP GET调用有一个缺点就是,请求的参数作为URL一部分来传递,以这种方式传递的时候,URL的长度应该在2048个字符之内。如果超出这个这范围,就要使用到HTTP POST调用。
2.使用HttpClient来执行POST调用
使用POST调用进行参数传递时,需要使用NameValuePair来保存要传递的参数。NameValuePair封装了一个键/值组合。另外,还需要设置所使用的字符集。
- package com.androidbook.services.httppost;
- import java.io.BufferedReader;
- import java.io.IOException;
- import java.io.InputStreamReader;
- import java.util.ArrayList;
- import java.util.List;
- import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
- import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
- import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
- import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
- import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
- import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
- import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
- import android.app.Activity;
- import android.os.Bundle;
- public class HttpPostActivity extends Activity {
- String uri = "http://developer.android.com/";
- @Override
- public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
- super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
- setContentView(R.layout.main);
- BufferedReader in = null;
- try {
- HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
- HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://code.google.com/android/");
- //使用NameValuePair来保存要传递的Post参数
- List<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
- //添加要传递的参数
- postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
- postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "dave"));
- //实例化UrlEncodedFormEntity对象
- UrlEncodedFormEntity formEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(
- postParameters);
- //使用HttpPost对象来设置UrlEncodedFormEntity的Entity
- request.setEntity(formEntity);
- HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
- in = new BufferedReader(
- new InputStreamReader(
- response.getEntity().getContent()));
- StringBuffer string = new StringBuffer("");
- String lineStr = "";
- while ((lineStr = in.readLine()) != null) {
- string.append(lineStr + "\n");
- }
- in.close();
- String resultStr = string.toString();
- System.out.println(resultStr);
- } catch(Exception e) {
- // Do something about exceptions
- } finally {
- if (in != null) {
- try {
- in.close();
- } catch (IOException e) {
- e.printStackTrace();
- }
- }
- }
- }
- }
