hi experts !! I am stuck with this issue. I am trying to send a string to a url which is like .... http://10.3.12.165/android/geteventlist.php?event_search_string=<entered by user in a edittext>
it works fine if user enters a string without spaces. But as user enters a string with spaces this error is posted in the logcat. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in query at index 71: http://10.3.12.165/android/geteventlist.php?event_search_string=Concert at LUMS E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet.<init>(HttpGet.java:75) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.eventify.app1.listevents.geteventlist_fromDB(listevents.java:121) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.eventify.app1.listevents $1.onClick(listevents.java:55) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.View.performClick(View.java: 2344) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.View.onTouchEvent(View.java: 4133) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.View.dispatchTouchEvent(View.java:3672) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:882) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:882) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:882) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:882) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.superDispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java:1712) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.superDispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java: 1202) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.app.Activity.dispatchTouchEvent(Activity.java:1987) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.dispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java:1696) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1658) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4203) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:791) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:549) E/AndroidRuntime( 271): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) how would i convert the string to a format when it gives no exception. The problem is that i have to pass this complete url string with variable to HttpGet object like... HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url); ///url is of type String so i have to pass it as a string type only. kindly help me out.
