Android Developer Console How to send a HTTP Request?

I have a little app with a leaderboard and i want to hide players with fake scores. I read about it at https://developers.google.com/games/services/management/api/players/hide#request

The Problem is, that i have no idea from http Requests and that things. So how do i send a HTTP Request? Is there a Terminal or something in the Developer Console from Google, where i put my command in? Or what do i need to do, to send an Request like this?

Solution

  • I recommend that you use Volley

    Add Volley to your project through Gradle 

    compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'

    Add the android.permission.INTERNET permission to your app's manifest.

    The code is taken from 1

     // Instantiate the RequestQueue.
 RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
 String url ="http://www.google.com"; //set your web call here

 // Request a string response from the provided URL.
 StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
        new Response.Listener<String>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(String response) {
       //handle success 
    }
       }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
       //handle error
    }
});

// Add the request to the RequestQueue.
queue.add(stringRequest);
