NameValuePair deprecated for openConnection

Question

I been following online tutorials on how to insert data into a database from an android app and have everything working except this small part

Click to copy

List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", username));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));

NameValuePair and BasicNameValuePair have been deprecated in favor of openConnection(). How can I create a new-value association with that? http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/URL.html#openConnection()

Does anyone know how I can create name value pairs with openConnection? I been searching everywhere.

Answer 1

I just ran into the same problem. The deprecated classes from org.apache.http have been removed in API 23.

I ended up using android.util.Pair. It works perfectly, and the code is shorter too:

Click to copy

List<Pair<String, String>> params = new ArrayList<>(); params.add(new Pair<>("username", username)); params.add(new Pair<>("password", password)); 

Answer 2

You can use ContentValues, for example:

Click to copy

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("username", name);
values.put("password", password);
database.insert(Table_name, null, values);

Answer 3

Alternate to NameValuePair. Also you can get the name and values from it as mentioned below. Here key isa name.

Create:

Click to copy

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("key1", "value1");
values.put("key2", "value2");

Get key and value :

Click to copy

for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : values.valueSet()) {
    String key = entry.getKey(); // name
    String value = entry.getValue().toString(); // value
}
