Create CouchDb Document with Volley

Question

Hello I try to create a Document in CouchDb using Volley but I have Problems with both the POST and PUT Method.

String url = "http://serverurl:port/database/";

    StringRequest request = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST
            , url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(String response) {
            System.out.println(response);
        }
    },
            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    Log.e("Volley", "onErrorResponse: ", error );
                }
            })
    {
    @Override
    public Map<String,String> getHeaders()throws AuthFailureError {
        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("Accept-Charset", AppConfig.CHARSET);
        params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
        String encoding =  Base64.encodeToString(AppConfig.SERVER_COUCHDB_AUTHENIFICATIONDATA.getBytes(Charset.forName("utf-8")), Base64.DEFAULT);
        params.put("Authorization","Basic "+ encoding);;
        return params;
    }

        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
            map.put("VolleyTest","Hello CouchDB");
            return map;
        }


    };

    Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(request);

I get the following Error in my Logcat:

07-14 15:44:06.599 2003-2064/de.game_wordit.wordit E/Volley: [361] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 415 for MYURL

If I try the PUT Request

String url = "http://serverurl:port/database/";

    StringRequest request = new StringRequest(Request.Method.PUT
            , url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(String response) {
            System.out.println(response);
        }
    },
            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    Log.e("Volley", "onErrorResponse: ", error );
                }
            })
    {
    @Override
    public Map<String,String> getHeaders()throws AuthFailureError {
        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("Accept-Charset", AppConfig.CHARSET);
        params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
        String encoding =  Base64.encodeToString(AppConfig.SERVER_COUCHDB_AUTHENIFICATIONDATA.getBytes(Charset.forName("utf-8")), Base64.DEFAULT);
        params.put("Authorization","Basic "+ encoding);;
        return params;
    }

        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
            map.put("VolleyTest","Hello CouchDB");
            return map;
        }


    };

    Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(request);

With the PUT Request this is the Error:

07-14 15:47:42.221 5144-5187/de.game_wordit.wordit E/Volley: [365] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 412 for MYURL`07-14 15:47:42.223 5144-5144/de.game_wordit.wordit E/Volley: onErrorResponse:

I also tried `JsonObjectRequest but it also don't work and I get the same errors.

Answer 1

I figured something out by myself:

String url = "http://url:port/database/docname";
    Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("a","b");
    final JSONObject json= new JSONObject(map);

    JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.PUT
            , url,json, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
            System.out.println(response);
        }
    },
            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    Log.e("Volley", "onErrorResponse: ", error );
                    Log.e("Volley", "onErrorResponse: "+new String(error.networkResponse.data,StandardCharsets.UTF_8) );
                }
            })
    {
    @Override
    public Map<String,String> getHeaders()throws AuthFailureError {
        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("Accept-Charset", AppConfig.CHARSET);
        params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
        params.put("Accept","application/json");
        String encoding =  Base64.encodeToString(AppConfig.SERVER_COUCHDB_AUTHENIFICATIONDATA.getBytes(Charset.forName("utf-8")), Base64.DEFAULT);
        params.put("Authorization","Basic "+ encoding);;
        return params;
    }

        @Override
        public byte[] getBody() {
            return json.toString().getBytes();
        }
    };
    String str = new String(request.getBody(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    Log.i("iii", "onCreate:" +str);
    Volley.newRequestQueue(this).add(request);

with this you are able to create a Document with a fixed ID. If you don't type the ID in the URL the program tries to create a Database. Normally you should be able to create a Document with a ID which is created by CouchDb if you leave the Doc ID out. But this not works for me. But I can live with this because I need to set my Doc IDs on my own.
