i have been using this method which seems a little redundant. Anyway is there a better way or is there anything I'm doing wrong here? This is in doinbackground method inside my async task. I also some other coding techniques which name value pairs. Is that better?



String myurl = "http://X.X.X.X/register.php";


String name = strings[0];
String email = strings[1];
String username = strings[2];
String password = strings[3];
try {
URL url = new URL(myurl);
HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
huc.setRequestMethod("POST");
huc.setDoOutput(true);
huc.setDoInput(true);
OutputStream os = huc.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os,"UTF-8"));
String post_data = URLEncoder.encode("name","UTF-8") + "=" +URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-8") + "&"+
URLEncoder.encode("email","UTF-8") + "=" +URLEncoder.encode(email,"UTF-8") + "&"+
URLEncoder.encode("username","UTF-8") + "=" +URLEncoder.encode(username,"UTF-8")+ "&"+
URLEncoder.encode("password","UTF-8") + "=" +URLEncoder.encode(password,"UTF-8") ;
bw.write(post_data);
bw.flush();
bw.close();
os.close();
InputStream is = huc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"));
String result="";
String line="";
while((line = br.readLine()) !=null)
{
result += line;
}
br.close();
is.close();
huc.disconnect();
return result;
}catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

  • You could try and use Retrofit2 library for this.

the code you are using is ok. But in fact, there are better ways to do the same thing. Try using volley. You just add it as dependency in graddle and use it. Here is a link to the official Android docs.
