Hello,
This code does what I want and works just fine as long as there is
"service" or an "internet connection".
*********** code **********************
public static String getHTTPresult(String URLwithGet){
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "--------start
getHTTPresult--------------------------------");
String strTemp = "this is a XX test";
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(URLwithGet);
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "executing request " + httpget.getURI());
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new
BasicResponseHandler();
String responseBody = "";
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "just before try ");
try {
responseBody = httpclient.execute(httpget,
responseHandler);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "error in getHTTPresult,
ClientProtocolException = " + e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "error in getHTTPresult, IOException = "
+ e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "error in getHTTPresult, Exception = " +
e.toString());
Log.d("MP103", e.toString());
}
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "after try catch ");
if (responseBody == "") {
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "responseBody = ''");
responseBody = "http error, responseBody = ''";
}
else {
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "responseBody !== ''");
//Log.d("MP103", TAG + responseBody);
}
Log.d("MP103", TAG + "--------end
getHTTPresult--------------------------------");
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
return responseBody;
}
******************* end code ****************************
My beta tester had trouble when he was out of service. His description
was "it froze up".
When I test on the emulator, I unplug the network cable, and thus have
no connection. On the emulator, in the routine listed above, it seems
to work just fine although it takes a while before returning
"UnknownHost". I say it works just fine because of what I can see in
the Log results.
It does however display the error "Application MyApp (in process
mnt.android.myapp.MA103) is not responding." along with a Force Close
button and a Wait button. If I wait a moment and press the Wait
button, the app proceeds like it should.
What can I do to avoid the long wait (and error) when there is no
service?
Thanks, John Brown
