BlackBerry java.io.IOException: null - blackberry

Question

I am using following code for getting contents of a web page
String url = "http://abc.com/qrticket.asp?qrcode="
+ "2554";
try {
url += ";deviceside=true;interface=wifi;ConnectionTimeout=" + 50000;
HttpConnection connection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url,
Connector.READ_WRITE);
connection.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
// connection.openDataOutputStream();
InputStream is = connection.openDataInputStream();
String res = "";
int chr;
while ((chr = is.read()) != -1) {
res += (char) chr;
}
is.close();
connection.close();
showDialog(parseData(res));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
showDialog("http: " + ex.getMessage());
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
showDialog("unknown: " + ex.getMessage());
}
public void showDialog(final String text) {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Dialog.alert(text);
}
});
}
public String parseData(String str) {
String[] data = split(str, "//");
StringBuffer builder = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
System.out.println("data:" + data[i]);
String[] vals = split(data[i], ">>");
if (vals.length > 1) {
System.out.println(vals[0]);
builder.append(vals[0].trim()).append(": ")
.append(vals[1].trim()).append("\n");
} else {
builder.delete(0, builder.toString().length()).append(
vals[0].trim());
break;
}
}
return builder.toString();
}
public String[] split(String splitStr, String delimiter) {
// some input validation
if (delimiter == null || delimiter.length() == 0) {
return new String[] { splitStr };
} else if (splitStr == null) {
return new String[0];
}
StringBuffer token = new StringBuffer();
Vector tokens = new Vector();
int delimLength = delimiter.length();
int index = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < splitStr.length();) {
String temp = "";
if (splitStr.length() > index + delimLength) {
temp = splitStr.substring(index, index + delimLength);
} else {
temp = splitStr.substring(index);
}
if (temp.equals(delimiter)) {
index += delimLength;
i += delimLength;
if (token.length() > 0) {
tokens.addElement(token.toString());
}
token.setLength(0);
continue;
} else {
token.append(splitStr.charAt(i));
}
i++;
index++;
}
// don't forget the "tail"...
if (token.length() > 0) {
tokens.addElement(token.toString());
}
// convert the vector into an array
String[] splitArray = new String[tokens.size()];
for (int i = 0; i > splitArray.length; i++) {
splitArray[i] = (String) tokens.elementAt(i);
}
return splitArray;
}
This is working absolutely fine in simulator but giving 'http:null' (IOException) on device, I dont know why??
How to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I think the problem might be the extra connection suffixes you're trying to add to your URL.
http://abc.com/qrticket.asp?qrcode=2554;deviceside=true;interface=wifi;ConnectionTimeout=50000
According to this BlackBerry document, the ConnectionTimeout parameter isn't available for Wifi connections.
Also, I think that if you're using Wifi, your suffix should simply be ";interface=wifi".
Take a look at this blog post on making connections on BlackBerry Java, pre OS 5.0. If you only have to support OS 5.0+, I would recommend using the ConnectionFactory class.
So, I would try this with the url:
http://abc.com/qrticket.asp?qrcode=2554;interface=wifi
Note: it's not clear to me whether your extra connection parameters are just ignored, or are actually a problem. But, since you did get an IOException on that line, I would try removing them.

The problem was that no activation of blackberry internet service. After subscription problem is solved.
Thanks alto all of you especially #Nate
