How to send data from libgdx project to web? - libgdx

Question

I would like to work on moving the json data from libgdx to my web server, but I am not sure how to do it. The method below was created by referring to libgdx's documentation.
private void httpPostJson(){
final Json json = new Json();
final String requestJson = json.toJson(requestObject);
Net.HttpRequest request = new Net.HttpRequest("POST");
final String url = "http://localhost:8080/data";
request.setUrl(url);
request.setContent(requestJson);
request.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
Gdx.net.sendHttpRequest(request, new Net.HttpResponseListener() {
#Override
public void handleHttpResponse(Net.HttpResponse httpResponse) {
String responseJson = httpResponse.getResultAsString();
Gson gson = new Gson();
data = gson.fromJson(responseJson, Person.class);
//'Person' is just sample class. data is class Person's object.
data.StoreData("",1);//successed to receive json data from web server.
//StoreData is just getter method.
}
#Override
public void failed(Throwable t) {
Gdx.app.log("failed!");
}
#Override
public void cancelled() {
Gdx.app.log("cancelled!");
}
});
}
It is possible to receive data transmitted from a web server.
But, this method can't send data to web server.
Can you tell me how to move data from libgdx project to web server?

Answer 1

This is the data transmitted to the web server:
final String requestJson = json.toJson(requestObject);

Answer 2

We are using the following Code (as you have more control over the request as opposed to using gdx.net), works like a charm, just don't execute on the main thread - body is your JSON as String
URL url = new URL(<your url>);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/json; charset=utf-8");
if (body != null) {
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
os, "UTF-8"));
writer.write(body);
writer.close();
os.close();
}
conn.connect();
String s = stringFromStream(conn.getInputStream(), 4096);
Method stringFromStream:
public static String stringFromStream(final InputStream is,
final int bufferSize) {
final char[] buffer = new char[bufferSize];
final StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
try {
final Reader in = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");
try {
for (; ; ) {
int rsz = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
if (rsz < 0)
break;
out.append(buffer, 0, rsz);
}
} finally {
in.close();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
return out.toString();
}
