I developed a TV app and service a while ago, to track my media
storage. the service sends data in JSON format. The wife got a new
phone so I'm trying to consume the service from the android SDK. I
tried the followinf code but I end up with truncated data:
// Send GET request to <service>/
GetSeriesListing
HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://192.168.0.1:1566/
MediaCatalogService.svc /GetSeriesListing");
request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
// Read response data into buffer
char[] buffer = new
char[(int)responseEntity.getContentLength()];
InputStream stream = responseEntity.getContent();
InputStreamReader reader = new
InputStreamReader(stream);
reader.read(buffer);
stream.close();
String value = new String(buffer)
return value;
Can someone explain why the above truncates the data? I changed the
code to this:
// Send GET request to <service>/GetPlates
HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://192.168.0.1:1566/
MediaCatalogService.svc/GetSeriesListing");
request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
String value = EntityUtils.toString(responseEntity);
This works however I have a question about the overhead of using the
EntityUtils, is it much, ie should I be more focused on figuring out
the truncation issue?
