sorry i already made my question here

Hi everyone,
I'm doing an application who must receive position by a web service,ed i must see this position on a map.
Have I to create only the client,or I have to creat also a NuSoap class?
This is my WS http://192.41.218.56:8080/WSGeoEAR-WSGe ... rBean?WSDL

this is my code:

public class Client extends Activity
{


private String SOAP_ACTION = "http://192.41.218.56:8080/WSGeoEAR-WSGeoServer/NavFinderBean?WSDL/getAllPositions";
private String METHOD_NAME = "getAllPositions";
private String NAMESPACE = "http://session/";
private static final String URL ="http://192.41.218.56:8080/WSGeoEAR-WSGeoServer/NavFinderBean?WSDL";


/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);


request.addProperty("id_Utente","1");

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);

androidHttpTransport.debug = true;

try {
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;

Vector XXXX = (Vector) resultsRequestSOAP.getProperty("getAllPositionsResponse");
int testat = XXXX.size();
SoapObject test = (SoapObject) XXXX.get(0);


String tem = (String) test.getProperty("id_Utente");
tem = tem + " " + (String) test.getProperty("1");

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblStatus)).setText(tem.toString());
} catch(Exception E) {
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblStatus)).setText("ERROR:" + E.getClass().getName() + ": " + E.getMessage());
}
}
}

I attach the emulator response

Hi I am using Android Ksoap2 to login . I am getting Error at response . I tried to debug it and saw my response

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><ns2:loginResponse xmlns:ns2="http://xxx.thxd.com/"><return>4eeaaa37-accb-4e7e-ae8a-ce008856391d</return></ns2:loginResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
--uuid:a0ee2798-3723-4349-b39a-27d9750e5785--

I am getting XmlPullParserException as it cannot recognise -- --uuid:a0ee2798-3723-4349-b39a-27d9750e5785--

Help suggest me a way how to avoid it .

Thanks

Hi,
I'm having a problem accessing my web-service.
For now, i'm am running the WS in localhost.

This is my code:

private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "getPOIS";
private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://ws.projectName/";
private static final String URL = "http://10.0.2.2:8084/projectName/GetPOIS";

//--//

object = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

object.addProperty("username", "ze");

object.addProperty("latitude", 40.211491);
object.addProperty("longitude", -8.429201);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(object);

HttpTransportSE aht = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try{

aht.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

SoapPrimitive primitive = (SoapPrimitive) envelope.getResponse();
tv.setText("From Server: " + primitive);


}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

//--//

I have the internet permission in the manifest file.
And i am also using a mapactivity, instead of a normal activity
However, I can't get the webservice to respond.

This is my WSDL:

Greetings to All !!!

I am new to Android and mobile plateform. My need was to call a webservice deployed in Jboss which accepts a complex input and responds back with a complex output. I searched tro the internet was not able to find a complete guide for the same. I would like to contribute this small tutorial,

Calling a Webservice using Android

Introduction
This tutorial talks about how to consume a webservice (in this case a service deployed into Jboss) from Android 2.2. For this purpose the following tools and SDK’s are used,
1. Android SDK 2.2
2. JDK 1.6
3. Eclipse 3.5 with Android Plug-in
4. Jboss 5.0
5. KSOAP2 2.4
Here kSOAP is a SOAP web service client library for constrained Java environments such as Applets or J2ME applications (CLDC / CDC / MIDP)

Organization of the Tutorial

Part1: About the Webservice (Only the WSDL part)
Part2: Calling the webservice with complex request object
Part3: Receiving a complex response object and parsing the same

Part1: About the Webservice (Only the WSDL part)
This Sample webservice has one operation with a complex input parameter and a complex output parameter. The following is the WSDL,

Code: Select all

</wsdl:definitions>


From the webservice the following are clear,
Service Name: AndroidSampleWebservice
Operation: getComplexData
Input: getComplexDataRequest (A complex request)
Output: getComplexDataResponse (A complex response)

Part2: Calling the webservice with complex request object

The structure of the input is:

Code: Select all

<xsd:element name="complexInData" type="tns:inData"></xsd:element>
<xsd:complexType name="inData">
         <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
            <xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
         </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:complexType>


Step1:
The first step would be constructing the SoapObject. The following code demonstrates the construction,

Code: Select all

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://www.example.org/AndroidSampleWebservice/";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "complexInData";
SoapObject loSoapObject = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
//At this point our loSoapObject here refers to the inData complex type.
//After this we have to set the elements firstName and the lastName into the loSoapObject
loSoapObject.addProperty("firstName","Dwarka");
loSoapObject.addProperty("lastName","Damodaran");

Step2:
Now we have got the SoapObject after this point we would be creating a Soap envelop, putting the envelop into a HTTP transport and calling the required method in the service. In most of the cases the step 2 would remain the same.
The following is the code for it,

Code: Select all

private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.example.org/AndroidSampleWebservice/getComplexData";
private static final String URL = "http://172.25.108.49:8080/AndroidWebservice/AndroidSampleWebservice?wsdl";
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(loSoapObject);
AndroidHttpTransport httpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
httpTransport.debug = true;
httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

With this we have called the webservice.

Part3: Receiving a complex response object and parsing the same
After Part2 the webservice implementation would do the required work and respond back with the data. Now this data is available in the envelop from the previous part. To extract the body out of the envelop the following has to be done,

SoapObject loresponse = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;

Here since out response type is a complex type we are type casting it into a Soapobject. Now this object would represent the xml tag “outData” in the WSDL. From this loResponseObject we can then extract the aData or acData or the gData tags and in the similar way the inner tags. For doing the following see the following code,

Code: Select all

SoapObject logObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("generalData");
SoapObject loaObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("addressData");
SoapObject loacObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("accountData");
Log.d("WS", "logObject: "+logObject);
Log.d("WS", "loaObject: "+loaObject);
Log.d("WS", "loacObject: "+loacObject);            
Log.d("WS", "firstName: "+logObject.getProperty("firstName"));
Log.d("WS", "lastName: "+logObject.getProperty("lastName"));
Log.d("WS", "age: "+logObject.getProperty("age"));
Log.d("WS", "sex: "+logObject.getProperty("sex"));

The following is the complete code for the example:

Code: Select all

package com.android.example;

import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;

      // have to construct another SoapObject and put in the place of the

      loSoapObject.addProperty("firstName", "Dwarka");
      loSoapObject.addProperty("lastName", "Damodaran");
      Log.d("WS", "Construction of SOAP Object End !!!");

      SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
            SoapEnvelope.VER11); // put all required data into a soap
                              // envelope
      Log.d("WS", "2. Envelop Created");
      envelope.setOutputSoapObject(loSoapObject); // prepare request
      Log.d("WS", "3. Request Into Envelop");
      AndroidHttpTransport httpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
      Log.d("WS", "4. Transport Created");
      httpTransport.debug = true; // this is optional, use it if you don't
                           // want to use a packet sniffer to check
                           // what the sent message was
                           // (httpTransport.requestDump)
      Log.d("WS", "5. Transport Level to True");
      try {
         httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
         if (envelope != null)
         {
            SoapObject loresponse = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;
            SoapObject logObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("generalData");
            SoapObject loaObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("addressData");
            SoapObject loacObject = (SoapObject)loresponse.getProperty("accountData");
            Log.d("WS", "logObject: "+logObject);
            Log.d("WS", "loaObject: "+loaObject);
            Log.d("WS", "loacObject: "+loacObject);
            
            Log.d("WS", "firstName: "+logObject.getProperty("firstName"));
            Log.d("WS", "lastName: "+logObject.getProperty("lastName"));
            Log.d("WS", "age: "+logObject.getProperty("age"));
            Log.d("WS", "sex: "+logObject.getProperty("sex"));
            
         }
         else
         {
            Log.d("WS", "Response Envelop Error");
         }

      } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

If you need to work with the same, the following has to be done,

1. Generate a webservice using the WSDL that i have provided.
2. Deploy the webservice
3. Create a Android project
4. Use the activity code above.

Can anyone help me?

I think the problem is the localhost part in your webservice. When i tried the same it worked by binding my jboss server to my actual IP i.e. 172.25.108.49 and gave the same in the URL like

private static final String URL = "http://172.25.108.49:8080/AndroidWebservice/AndroidSampleWebservice?wsdl";

I suppose this should work. If you have not tried it yet, may be give it a try !!!

when I use https instead of http it gives me error of SSL how can I resolve it ???I m using KSOAP library...

Hello,

This post is for those guys who are getting error during calling of HTTPS web service and getting SSL Certificate error.

It is possible to call HTTPS web service by making custom service connection class. reply who really need this.

Thanks,

Hi tejas_26987,

I would be very glad to get any information on this as I am trying to do exactly the same thing.

hi guys,

did anyone achieved to call a https webservice??

hi can any one suggest the best way to call web service thatneed to send request in xml format exactly as the below soap, is it possible in ksoap2

For the soap

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
soap:Body>
employee xmlns="http://abcd.com/">
emp>
Name>string/Name>
Designation>string/Designation>
/emp>
/employee>
/soap:Body>
/soap:Envelope>

responce will be

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
soap:Body>
employeeResponse xmlns="http://abcd.com/">
employeeResult>string/employeeResult>
/employeeResponse>
/soap:Body>
/soap:Envelope>
