How to use HttpGet in Android

Source code


HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(
"http://your_webservice/username="
+ username + "/password=" + pass);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet, localContext);
String responseText = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
// Log.e("HTTP Response - > ", "" + responseText);
String searchResult = parseXMLForTag(responseText,
"FinalMessageOfUserAccounts");
loginstatus = parseXMLForTag(searchResult, "Message");
Log.e("Login Status : ->", "" + loginstatus);
return loginstatus.trim();


//Using this method parse data from <xml tags>

public static String parseXMLForTag(String xml, String tag) {
try {
// Create XMLPullParserFactory & XMLPullParser
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
XmlPullParser parser = factory.newPullParser();
parser.setInput(new StringReader(xml));

// boolean to indicate desired tag has been found
boolean foundTag = false;
// variable to fill contents
StringBuilder tagContents = new StringBuilder();

// loop over document
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
switch (eventType) {
case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
if (parser.getName().equals(tag)) {
// Found tag, start appending to tagContents
foundTag = true;
} else if (foundTag) {
// New start tag inside desired tag
tagContents.append("<" + parser.getName() + ">");
}
break;
case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
if (parser.getName().equals(tag)) {
// Finished gathering text for tag
return tagContents.toString();
} else if (foundTag) {
// end tag inside desired tag
tagContents.append("</" + parser.getName() + ">");
}
break;
case XmlPullParser.TEXT:
if (foundTag) {
// text inside desired tag
tagContents.append(parser.getText());
}
break;
}
// Get next event type
eventType = parser.next();
}
return null;
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
