I am using an application where i just need to download a pair of coordinates for google maps from a mysql server. I can do this successfully using php and a normal httpost but my app freezes for a few seconds when i do it.
I read that you need to make httppost asycronous in order to avoid that freezing until the server finishes the prossess and sends the results.
The point is that i need that results in a json array like the normal httpost.
For example if i had this httppost.
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List nameValuePairs = new ArrayList(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
String result11 = null;
// convert response to string
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is11, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n");
String line = "0";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is11.close();
result11 = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// parsing data
try {
JSONArray jArray1 = new JSONArray(result11);
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
How can i convert that to an asynchronous post so i can avoid the freeze ?
