HttpURLConnection uses the GET method by default. It will use POST if setDoOutput(true) has been called. Other HTTP methods ( OPTIONS , HEAD , PUT , DELETE and TRACE ) can be used with setRequestMethod(String) .
HttpURLConnection class is an abstract class directly extending from URLConnection class. It includes all the functionality of its parent class with additional HTTP-specific features. HttpsURLConnection is another class that is used for the more secured HTTPS protocol.
Yes, it always needs to be closed.
URLConnection is the base class. HttpURLConnection is a derived class which you can use when you need the extra API and you are dealing with HTTP or HTTPS only. HttpsURLConnection is a 'more derived' class which you can use when you need the 'more extra' API and you are dealing with HTTPS only.
Can anybody tell my why this doesn't work in the Android emulator? From the browser I have access and the server is internal. All I can think of is that I'm missing some configuration on my app so it can access the network layer.
try {
InetAddress server = Inet4Address.getByName("thehost");
//Doesn't work either
//or InetAddress server2 = Inet4Address.getByAddress(new String("192.168.1.30").getBytes());
if(server.isReachable(5000)){
Log.d(TAG, "Ping!");
}
Socket clientsocket = new Socket(server, 8080);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Server Not Found");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't open socket");
}
Throws an UnknownHostException
