How to add Body request in url in Kotlin? - json

Question

Here is my Code that for Volley Request:-
val searchRequest = object : JsonArrayRequest(Request.Method.GET,url,
Response.Listener { response ->
val result = response.toString()
},
Response.ErrorListener { error ->
Toast.makeText(activity, "Error!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show()
Log.d("ERROR",error.toString())
})
{
override fun getBody(): ByteArray {
// TODO add Body, Header section works //////////
return super.getBody()
}
override fun getBodyContentType(): String {
return "application/json"
}
override fun getHeaders() : Map<String,String> {
val params: MutableMap<String, String> = HashMap()
params["Search-String"] = songName
params["Authorization"] = "Bearer ${accessTx.text}"
return params
}
}
AppController.instance!!.addToRequestQueue(searchRequest)
I want to add this information in the body section
video_id = "BDJIAH" , audio_quality = "256"
here is the sample to add above information in the below segment.
{ "video_id":"ABCDE", "audio_quality":"256" }
Basically, I am facing problem in ByteArray section. That doesn't work for me.

Answer 1

You can use toByteArray() method of String class in Kotlin.
For example:
val charset = Charsets.UTF_8
val byteArray = "SomeValue".toByteArray(charset)
Also try to pass multiple values in the request body in this way:
val requestBody = "video_id = "+"ABCDE"+ "& audio_quality ="+ "256"
val charset = Charsets.UTF_8
val byteArray = requestBody.toByteArray(charset)
