[android-developers] Re: Call PHP through URL
Tnx. Can you tell me what's the simplest way to do this... I send some data to my PHP script, it calculates some data and outputs String ABC123 on a screen (with PHP echo function). Then how can I grab it and receive into my Android activity? Do I need to use JSON (http://snipplr.com/view/4717/output-json-string-from-php/) ?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Call PHP through URL
No, you just download the webpage as usual, it will contain the information you echoed. You form the webpage URL as a normal browser-like URL with parameters you want to send to your PHP script.

[android-developers] Re: Call PHP through URL
Something like - http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/doing-http-post-with-the-current-sdk-t5911.html ? Just one thing isn't clear to me - what represents this line nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(id, 12345)); - especially (id, 12345) - I think that id is the key and 12345 the value, but where to put the key in the webpage?

[android-developers] Re: Call PHP through URL
I was LITERALLY just coding this to submit a POST to google app engine. This code works for me (1.6 compatible.. and probably 1.5 actually): HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost post = new HttpPost(https://someurl.com;); ListNameValuePair nvps = new ArrayListNameValuePair(2); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key1, somevalue1); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key2, somevalue2); post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8)); client.execute(post); On Sep 5, 5:46 am, svebee sven.kapud...@gmail.com wrote: Something like -http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/doing-http-post-with-the-cu... ?

[android-developers] Re: Call PHP through URL
oops.. just read your previous post Then how can I grab it and receive into my Android activity? The line in the code I posted: client.execute(post); actually also returns a response: HttpResponse res = client.execute(post); So if your PHP script is printing out data to the http response on the server, this object will have that data. You'll have to read the javadoc for this HttpResponse object as I'm not sure where (i.e what structure) your data will be. Usually if it's just a small amount of data I just throw it into an HTTP Response header on the server side. That way the response is light and easier to parse out because you can just call getHeaders on the HttpResponse object.
