Display HTTP Request Information - BlackBerry - blackberry

How can I get the all HTTP request headers, method, the suffix of the connection, and all parameters that I added to the request?

Try something like this (I ran this code on a background thread, which I why I use UiApplication.invokeLater() to display results):
try {
ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory(); // for OS 5.0+
factory.setPreferredTransportTypes(new int[] {
TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_WIFI,
TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_CELLULAR
});
// For OS < 5.0
//HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("http://www.google.com;interface=wifi");
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) factory.getConnection("http://www.google.com").getConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("sessionId", "ABCDEF0123456789");
final StringBuffer results = new StringBuffer();
String key = "";
int index = 0;
// loop over all the header fields, and record their values
while (key != null) {
key = conn.getHeaderFieldKey(index);
if (key != null) {
String value = conn.getHeaderField(key);
results.append(key + " = " + value + "\n\n");
}
index++;
}
results.append("method = " + conn.getRequestMethod() + "\n\n");
// we (should) know which request properties we've set, so we ask
// for them by name here
String sessionId = conn.getRequestProperty("sessionId");
results.append("sessionId = " + sessionId + "\n\n");
String url = conn.getURL();
results.append("URL = " + url);
// show the result on screen (UI thread)
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
textField.setText(results.toString());
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

BlackBerry java.io.IOException: null

I am using following code for getting contents of a web page
String url = "http://abc.com/qrticket.asp?qrcode="

res += (char) chr;
}
is.close();
connection.close();
showDialog(parseData(res));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

ex.printStackTrace();
showDialog("unknown: " + ex.getMessage());
}
public void showDialog(final String text) {

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
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

Parse IMAP message and extract header information

I am trying to extract header and body information from email, the following code retrieves the header and body in their raw form. I have an email object that contains the fields from, subject, date, and body. I would like to extract these values from the email and assign them to the email object. How do I get around it? I have tried several ways like getting the header info and using a streamReader.ReadLine() to get a line but I got illegal path exceptions. I know I can use a library but I need to achieve it this way.
What I mean is this, IMAP command returns header information. And I want to extract subject value, date value, sender e-amil, etc. and assign them to my email objects corresponding values like
emailObject.subject = "subjectValue"

You said you do not want to use an IMAP library. This means that you will have to implement your own. You should start by reading RFC 3501 because there is no chance you could get the protocol right without reading the docs carefuly. In particular, you're issuing a STATUS command on the currently selected mailbox, which is explicitly forbidden by the protocol specification. The rest of the code supports the assumption that you have not read the RFC yet.

Retrieve GPS Location and send it to Web Server [duplicate]

i am developing and app for blackberry and i need to send a Http Post Request to my server. I'm using the simulator in order to test my app and i found this code in order to send request:
http://vasudevkamath.techfiz.com/general/posting-data-via-http-from-blackberry/
But i can't get it work, because it fails in this line:
int rc = _httpConnection.getResponseCode();
Any idea?
thanks
Here is a sample code on how to send a POST request:
HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url, Connector.READ_WRITE);
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
OutputStream os = c.openOutputStream();
os.write(request.getBytes("UTF-8"));
os.flush();
os.close();
InputStream is = c.openInputStream();
Just make sure you use this code in a separate thread.
public static ResponseBean sendRequestAndReceiveResponse(String method, String absoluteURL, String bodyData, boolean readResponseBody)
throws IOException
{
ResponseBean responseBean = new ResponseBean();
HttpConnection httpConnection = null;

//String formattedURL = absoluteURL + "deviceside=false"; // If you are using BES
//String formattedURL = absoluteURL + "deviceside=true"; // If you are using TCP
if(DeviceInfo.isSimulator()) // if you are using simulator
formattedURL = absoluteURL;
httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(formattedURL);
httpConnection.setRequestMethod(method);
if (bodyData != null && bodyData.length() > 0)
{
OutputStream os = httpConnection.openOutputStream();
os.write(bodyData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
}
int responseCode = httpConnection.getResponseCode();
responseBean.setResponseCode(responseCode);
if (readResponseBody)
{
responseBean.setBodyData(readBodyData(httpConnection));
}
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IOException in NetworkUtil::sendRequestAndReceiveResponse(): " + ex);
throw ex;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exception in NetworkUtil::sendRequestAndReceiveResponse(): " + ex);
throw new IOException(ex.toString());
}
finally
{
if (httpConnection != null)
httpConnection.close();
}
return responseBean;
}
public static StringBuffer readBodyData(HttpConnection httpConnection) throws UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException
{
if(httpConnection == null)
return null;
StringBuffer bodyData = new StringBuffer(256);
InputStream inputStream = httpConnection.openDataInputStream();
byte[] data = new byte[256];
int len = 0;
int size = 0;
while ( -1 != (len = inputStream.read(data)) )
{
bodyData.append(new String(data, 0, len,"UTF-8"));
size += len;
}
if (inputStream != null)
{
inputStream.close();
}
return bodyData;
}
I know this question is pretty old and OP probably solved it by now, but I've just run into the same problem and managed to fix it!
You need to append ;deviceside=true to your URL.
So for example, your URL will change from "http://example.com/directory/submitpost.php" to "http://example.com/directory/submitpost.php;deviceside=true".
I found this here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Different-ways-to-make-an-HTTP-or-socket-connection/ta-p/445879
My POST request was timing out after 3 minutes when I did not have this (See My Comment), but it works fine with this appended to the url.
I would also recommend using ConnectionFactory. Here's some of my code:
Network.httpPost("http://example.com/directory/submitpost.php;deviceside=true", paramNamesArray, paramValsArray)
public static void httpPost(String urlStr, String[] paramName, String[] paramVal) throws Exception {
ConnectionFactory conFactory = new ConnectionFactory();
conFactory.setTimeLimit(1000);
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) conFactory.getConnection(urlStr).getConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < paramName.length; i++) {
sb.append(paramName[i]);
sb.append("=");
sb.append(paramVal[i]);
sb.append("&");
}
byte[] postData = sb.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",new Integer(postData.length).toString());
OutputStream out = conn.openOutputStream();
out.write(postData);
//out.flush(); //Throws an Exception for some reason/Doesn't do anything anyways
out.close();
//This writes to our connection and waits for a response
if (conn.getResponseCode() != 200) {
throw new Exception(conn.getResponseMessage());
}
}
Not sure about the site you posted, but I've successfully used the sample ConnectionFactory code provided on the blackberry site.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Sample-Code-Using-the-ConnectionFactory-class-in-a-BrowserField/ta-p/532860
Just make sure not to invoke the connection on the EventThread.
That's how you add parameters, Full answer is here:
StringBuffer postData = new StringBuffer();
httpConn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("https://surveys2.kenexa.com/feedbacksurveyapi/login?");
httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
postData.append("username="+username);
postData.append("&password="+pass);
postData.append("&projectcode="+projectid);
String encodedData = postData.toString();
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",(new Integer(encodedData.length())).toString());
byte[] postDataByte = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
OutputStream out = httpConn.openOutputStream();
out.write(postDataByte);
out.close();

Retriving url from webservice and how to connect to that url

i am new to black berry.i am doing one task,i have one webservice to show some url.i need to retrive it and connect to that url.i tried with two threads one is to retrive url and other is to connect to url which is in webservice but it shows nullpointer exception.please help me.
Thank You.
since you have not posted any code, it's very difficult to diagnose the problem. But look at the following code which tries to open an absolute url. This can be helpful.
Use this method for both of your connection (Web Service and URL returned from Web Service). Be sure to call this method in a separate thread otherwise it will freeze the UI.
