    text
    copied!<p>I am having a strange problem while using Apache HttpClient in an Android app.</p> <p>My app needs to Login to a website and get some data and then logout.</p> <p>My current code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>public class BlueClient { private String hostUrl; private DefaultHttpClient client; private HttpContext localContext; public BlueClient(String hostUrl,DefaultHttpClient httpClient,HttpContext localContext) { this.hostUrl = hostUrl; this.client = httpClient; this.localContext = localContext; } public boolean doLogin(String userName,String password){ String url = getHostUrl()+"do_login";//loggin will set a session cookie HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url); try { List&lt;NameValuePair&gt; nameValuePairs = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(2); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username",userName)); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password",password)); post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); HttpResponse response = client.execute(post,localContext); //ok now if response is ok then return true } catch (Exception e) { } return false; } public MyStuff getMyStuff(){ String url = getHostUrl()+"/getMyStuff/"; //this url requires authentication. the sesion cookie should do that HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url); try { HttpResponse response = client.execute(get,localContext); //ok get my stuff from response and return } catch (Exception e) { } return null; } public boolean doLogout(){ String url = getHostUrl()+"do_logout";//it clears the cookie so the session is invalidated HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url); try { HttpResponse response = client.execute(get,localContext); //ok the cookie is cleared } } catch (Exception e) { } return false; } } </code></pre> <p>And when i call these function i do like this. <strong>It works in emulator but not in device</strong></p> <pre><code>HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext(); CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore(); context.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE,cookieStore); DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); BlueClient myClient = new BlueClient("http://myHost.com/",httpClient,context); myClient.doLogin("user","pass"); // it should've printed the cookies set by the server but i get nothing here ! D.log(context.getAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE)); // as this is another subsequesnt request it shoud carry the cookies back to the server but as the cookies are not set this function gives me nothig :-( myClient.getMyStuff(); myClient.doLogout(); </code></pre> <p>Can anyone please shed some light on this. Why its not working in the device?</p>
