Android Http Request Clientprotocolexception

I have an API that seems to be working perfect when I test it using Firefox's 'REST Client' or Google Chrome's 'Simple REST Client' However, when I send an Http request using Andro

Solution 1:

Your code seems to be correct.

ClientProtocolException happens if there is an INVALID REQUEST from the client or an INVALID RESPONSE from the server

Also you have specified httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json"); it expects that the server is returning an JSON response. See docs for more details.

So you may check what response you are sending from the server. It should be a JSON response.

Or you can try removing httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json"); and check what response you are getting.

Solution 2:

This should work

HttpParams httpParams=newBasicHttpParams();
DefaultHttpClienthttpClient=newDefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
HttpResponsehttpResponse=null;
HttpPosthttpPost=newHttpPost(Constants.URL);
httpPost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
StringEntityse=newStringEntity(params,HTTP.UTF_8);
httpPost.setEntity(se);
httpClient.execute(httpPost);
