please suggest good async http request library. i tired http://loopj.com/android-async-http/, the library cannot set request header.

best regards,

Hi briantsim,

Don't have too many takers on this problem huh?

Here is a piece of code to do what you want I think.

Code: Select all

It's just a chunk of code out of a working app so it may have more than you need or not enough but I think it is what you are after.

Let me know how you make out.
