UnknownHostException in client.execute(httppost)


I have get UnknownHostException every time, This is my part of code:

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();

I have got exception on line no 3,

I have restart my Wifi connection. I have also used my data plan. I have also try with HttpGet class instead of HttpPost The url is work perfectly on the browser

I cant understand, What is the actual cause, Pls help me...

Solution

  • Make sure the url string that you pass to HttpPost begins with http://

    EDIT: I was able to perform a request with below code sample (notice the http prefix)

    private void httpStuff() {
        new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
                BufferedReader reader = null;
                try {
                    String url = "http://www.offerpunch.com/parser/index.php/deals?SR=1&cat_id=&SRcat_id=&SRkeyword=hddhh&deal_city=&deal_area=";
                    DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                    HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
    
                    HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
                    HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
                    InputStream is = httpEntity.getContent();
                    reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    
                    StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
                    String line;
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                        total.append(line);
                    }
                    return total.toString();
    
                } catch (ClientProtocolException ex) {
                    Log.e("LOG_TAG", null, ex);
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    Log.e("LOG_TAG", null, ex);
                } finally {
                    if (reader != null) {
                        try {
                            reader.close();
                        } catch (IOException ex) {
                        }
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
    
            protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
                if (result == null) {
                    Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Result is null");
                } else {
                    Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Result size: " + result.length());
                    Log.d("LOG_TAG", result);
                }
    
            };
        }.execute();
    }
    

    The result is a huge string (~900k length), I am not even sure the user can actually understand the parsed data ... but that's off-topic.

    In your case, I believe you either put the Internet permission in a wrong place as noted here, or you're running the app on a crappy emulator, or you simply don't have connectivity on the device that you're running the app.

    One more thing: that NullPointerException that you get is because you assume the result is correct from server side. Make sure you have not-null checks before parsing ...
