Getting Data From the Web (URLConnection via http)


What you will learn: You will learn how to download files/data from any URL (useful for reading the returned xml-data from Web2.0-APIs)

Question Problems/Questions: Write it right below...

Difficulty: 1.5 of 5 Smile

What it will look like:


Description:
0.) We will use just URL, URLConnection and InputStreams to receive data from a txt-file via http from the web. (works with any other dynamic url, too Exclamation like the Google Weather API http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Schriesheim,Germany )

This is the full Code:
Java:
package org.anddev.android.getdatafromtheweb;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

import org.apache.http.util.ByteArrayBuffer;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class GetDataFromTheWeb extends Activity {
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
          super.onCreate(icicle);

          /* We will show the data we read in a TextView. */
          TextView tv = new TextView(this);
          
          /* Will be filled and displayed later. */
          String myString = null;
          try {
               /* Define the URL we want to load data from. */
               URL myURL = new URL(
                         "http://www.anddev.org/images/tut/basic/getdatafromtheweb/loadme.txt");
               /* Open a connection to that URL. */
               URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection();

               /* Define InputStreams to read
                * from the URLConnection. */
               InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
               BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
               
               /* Read bytes to the Buffer until
                * there is nothing more to read(-1). */
               ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
               int current = 0;
               while((current = bis.read()) != -1){
                    baf.append((byte)current);
               }

               /* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
               myString = new String(baf.toByteArray());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               /* On any Error we want to display it. */
               myString = e.getMessage();
          }
          /* Show the String on the GUI. */
          tv.setText(myString);
          this.setContentView(tv);
     }
}

Thats it Smile

Hello venkat,

perhaps sth like this works:
Java:
               // ...
               /* Open a connection to that URL. */
               URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection(new Proxy(...));
               // ...

plusminus

yes plusminus, i tried this. but still it not working. i have attached my full source code here..


Java:
public class GetDataFromTheWeb extends Activity
{
     String myString = "Test: ";
   Proxy p;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
    {
     try{ 
          
          Socket s=new Socket("vsnlproxy.in",3128);
     SocketAddress sa=s.getLocalSocketAddress();
          p=new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP,sa);
     }catch(Exception e)
     {
          myString = "Socket Error"+e;
     }
     super.onCreate(icicle);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        try
        {
          URL myURL = new URL("http://www.anddev.org/images/tut/basic/getdatafromtheweb/loadme.txt");

          URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection();
         
          InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
          InputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
          Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(bis);
         
          int x;
          int count = 0;  
          byte by[] = new byte[20];
          while((x = reader.read()) != -1)
          {
               if(count < 20)
               {
                    by[count] = (byte) x;
               }
               count++;
          }
          for(int i=0; i<20; i++)
          {
               myString = myString + (char)by[i];
          }
        }
        catch(MalformedURLException ex)
        {
          myString = "MalformedURLException occured.";
        }
        catch(IOException ex)
        {
          myString = "IOException occured." + ex;
        }
       
        tv.setText(myString);
        setContentView(tv);
    }
}

Hello venkat,

I'm out of idas as I never was behind a proxy... Sad
Did you put p in to the openConnection Question
Java:
URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection(p);
Question

Hi,

I tried to get the full HTML source of a page but i was getting an IllegalArgumentException being thrown at the line
Java:

InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();

Not sure what the prob is. It would be great if it could be solved out

Thanx,
Nitin

Hello Nitinkcv,

thats pretty strange, as getInputStream() takes to Parameters and should not throw an IllegalArgumentException Sad

Code:
getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

    Returns an input stream that reads from this open connection.

    Returns:
        an input stream that reads from this open connection.
    Throws:
        IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the input stream.
        UnknownServiceException - if the protocol does not support input.


Regards,
plusminus

Hi plusminus,

i was able to parse the html source, but the problem is that the correct source is not getting parsed.

My java file is:

Java:

/**

package com.cognizant.Transliterate;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataInputStream;

import org.apache.http.util.ByteArrayBuffer;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class Literate1 extends Activity {

     protected static HttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new SimpleHttpConnectionManager();

     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
          super.onCreate(icicle);

          /* We will show the data we read in a TextView. */
          TextView tv = new TextView(this);
          HttpConnection connection = null;
          /* Will be filled and displayed later. */
          String myString = null;

          /* Define the URL we want to load data from. */
          String baseURL = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|ml&text=sukham%2C&tl_app=3";

          // Setup the connection

          try {
               HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(baseURL);
               HostConfiguration host = new HostConfiguration();
               host.setHost(httpURL.getHost(), httpURL.getPort());
               connection = connectionManager.getConnection(host);

               Log.i("MyLogger", "Before Opening Conn");

               // Open it
               connection.open();

               // Post (send) data to the connection
               PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(baseURL);
               
               postMethod.execute(new HttpState(), connection);

               InputStream response = postMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream();

               Log.i("MyLogger", response.toString());
               BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(response);
               
               ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(450);
               int current = 0;
               while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
                    baf.append((byte) current);
               }
               
               /* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
               myString = new String(baf.toByteArray());
               bis.close();
               Log.i("MyLogger", "myString is :" + myString);
               
          } catch (Exception e) {
               Log.i("MyLogger", "myString is :" + myString);
               Log.i("MyLogger", e.toString());
               myString = e.getMessage();
          } finally {
               connection.close();
          }

          
          /* Show the String on the GUI. */
          tv.setText(myString);
          this.setContentView(tv);

     }
}


The url which i pass is http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|ml&text=sukham%2C&tl_app=3

Question Hmmm not able to put the above url correctly.. the full url is up till the tl_app=3 Question

But the html source that i get is not the above one's html source. i believe that the html source i get is that of this

Any Workarounds..

Thanx,
Nitin

Hello Nitinkcv,

with me it returns: "Argument must not be null". Very probably a problem with the URL-Encoding.

Working...

Yes it is, the "|" needs to be replaced by its urlencoded-expression "%7C":
Java:
String baseURL = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|ml&text=sukham&tl_app=3";
                         baseURL = baseURL.replace("|", "%7C");
                         URL myURL = new URL(baseURL);


Returns:
Quote:
while(1);
[
{
"ew" : "sukham",
"hws" : [
"സുഖം","സുക്തം","സുക്ഹം","സുഖമ","സ്ഖം",
]
},
]

Without back-conversion of the (indian ?) html-specialchars:
Java:
while(1);
[
{
"ew" : "sukham",
"hws" : [
"&#3384;&#3393;&#3350;&#3330;", "&#3384;&#3393;&#3349;&#3405;&#3364;&#3330;", "&#3384;&#3393;&#3349;&#3405;&#3385;&#3330;", "&#3384;&#3393;&#3350;&#3374;", "&#3384;&#3405;&#3350;&#3330;",
]
},
]]


Let us know if it helped Smile

Regards,
plusminus

Hi PlusMinus,

Thanx for the reply Very Happy . While the app i'm getting the output without back-conversion of the html-specialchars. i.e. with the symbols &#3384 etc..

Was wondering how to get them in the respective language.. i.e. സുഖം

I believe they are unicode format. But was not able to get it still Question .

Thanx,
Nitin

Hmmm... Seems like x-ISCII91 is the required charset. Got this from here.

but still im getting the exception UnsupportedEncodingException.

Found this code to get all the installed charsets in the JVM.

Java:

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;

public class GetAllCharSets {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Map charsets = Charset.availableCharsets();
    Iterator iterator = charsets.values().iterator();
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
      Charset cs = (Charset) iterator.next();
      System.out.print(cs.displayName());
      if (cs.isRegistered()) {
        System.out.print(" (registered): ");
      } else {
        System.out.print(" (unregistered): ");
      }
      System.out.print(cs.name());
      Iterator names = cs.aliases().iterator();
      while (names.hasNext()) {
        System.out.print(", ");
        System.out.print(names.next());
      }
      System.out.println();
    }
  }
}


This is the result i got:

But the charset x-ISCII91 is unregistered. So could that be the reason that im not gettin it right. Also i put an entry in the strings.xml..


<string name="default_output">സുഖം</string>


and tried to display that in the emulator but it displayed the notorious SQUARE BOXES Sad

So does that mean android doesnt support indic charset or do i have to some make that x-ISCII91 'REGISTERED' instead of 'UNREGISTERED'...

Will investigate more and come back.

Thnax,
Nitin

Hello Nitin,

as this page uses
Quote:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

and the chars from my post above get displayed correctly and "iso-8859-1" it is listed in your output as "registered" it should work.

Especially when you display it within a WebView, you can set the charset yourself.
Does UTF-8 not work Question

Regards,
