Do you know how to set Content-Type on HttpURLConnection?
Following code is on Blackberry and I want the Android equivalent:
connection.setRequestProperty("content-type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Host", "192.168.1.36");
connection.setRequestProperty("Expect", "100-continue");
Is it right for android?
Please advise.
If you really want to use the HttpURLConnection you can use the setRequestProperty method like:
myHttpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
myHttpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Expect", "100-continue");
However, if I were you I'd look into using the Apache HTTP libraries. They're a little higher-level and easier to use. With them you would do it with something like:
HttpGet get = new HttpGet("http://192.168.1.36/");
get.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
get.setHeader("Expect", "100-continue");
HttpResponse resp = null;
try {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
resp = httpClient.execute(get);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "HTTP protocol error", e);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Communication error", e);
}
if (resp != null) {
// got a response, do something with it
} else {
// there was a problem
}
