Since the NameValuePair is deprecated. Thought of sharing my code
public String performPostCall(String requestURL,
HashMap<String, String> postDataParams) {
URL url;
String response = "";
try {
url = new URL(requestURL);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(15000);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
writer.write(getPostData(postDataParams));
writer.flush();
writer.close();
os.close();
int responseCode=conn.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpsURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
String line;
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line=br.readLine()) != null) {
response+=line;
}
}
else {
response="";
throw new HttpException(responseCode+"");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return response;
}
....
private String getPostDataString(HashMap<String, String> params) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
boolean first = true;
for(Map.Entry<String, String> entry : params.entrySet()){
if (first)
first = false;
else
result.append("&");
result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
result.append("=");
result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue(), "UTF-8"));
}
return result.toString();
}
