Hello,

i have some android code that uses
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;

i am trying to load the legacy code so my code will not have deprecated sections in it. i have updated the grande.build file and added the .jar files but the deprecated code still shows in my code.

or is there a workaround to correct my function

    public void getData(){
        class GetDataJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
                DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(new BasicHttpParams());
                HttpPost httppost = new  HttpPost("http://hollyannjones.joneschris.info/get-data.php");

                // Depends on your web service
                httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

                InputStream inputStream = null;
                String result = null;
                try {
                    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

                    inputStream = entity.getContent();
                    // json is UTF-8 by default
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"), 8);
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                    String line = null;
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
                    {
                        sb.append(line + "\n");
                    }
                    result = sb.toString();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // Oops
                }
                finally {
                    try{if(inputStream != null)inputStream.close();}catch(Exception squish){}
                }

Hi Chris Jones,

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' in gradle. Download the jar file from here(https://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi) and add into the project. Call webservice httpclient replace by httpurlconnection.

OR

Try other alternative (http://square.github.io/okhttp/), Here is what i am recommend you. I am using this in my projects.

Thanks & Regards,

To read JSON I use URLConnection rather than httpEntity. I have replaced your code with what I used in my reader.

    public void getData()
    {
        class GetDataJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

            @Override protected String doInBackground(String... params) 
            {
                
                //DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(new BasicHttpParams());
               // HttpPost httppost = new  HttpPost("http://hollyannjones.joneschris.info/get-data.php");

                // Depends on your web service
                //httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
                
                
                String endpoint = String.format("http://hollyannjones.joneschris.info/get-data.php");                  


                InputStream inputStream = null;
                String result = null;
                
                try 
                {
                    URL           url   = new URL(endpoint);
                    URLConnection conn  = url.openConnection();
                    InputStream   input = conn.getInputStream();
                    
                    
                    //HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                    //HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

                   // inputStream = entity.getContent();

                    // json is UTF-8 by default
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"), 8);
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                    String line = null;
                    
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
                    {
                        sb.append(line + "\n");
                    }
                    
                    result = sb.toString();
                } 
                catch (Exception e) 
                {
                    // Oops
                }
                finally 
                {
                    try{if(inputStream != null)inputStream.close();}catch(Exception squish){}
                }
                return result;
            }
