AndroidNetUtils

Basic net utilities for

1. GETing JSON from a url
2. POSTing POST data to a URL and getting back JSON

Download

Nab the zip or clone and move the com.prodikl.androidNetUtils folder into your project

Usage

Implement the JsonCallback interface in your activity (or object) and create a jsonReady(JSONObject jsonObject) callback function.

• GET: Call NetUtils.getJsonFromUrl() and pass in your URL and activity that implements JsonCallback

  NetUtils.getJsonFromUrl("http://www.mysite.com/user/info", this);

• POST: Call NetUtils.postToUrlAndReturnJson() and pass in your URL, your activity, and an array of BasicNameValuePairs

  NetUtils.postToUrlAndReturnJson("http://www.mysite.com/user/info", this, 
    new BasicNameValuePair("first_name", "Tyrion"),
    new BasicNameValuePair("last_name", "Lannister"));

When the JSON is ready it will call jsonReady() in your activity.

Caveats

This is done asynchronously, so if you're trying to modify your UI (in Android), you'll have to take an extra step to execute your code on the UI thread.

Future

I plan to add a Boolean to run on UI thread if necessary.
