Friends I am creating an app and I need to consult data from my host, so I have read this obsolete so far using the apache httpcient library now I must use threads, I'm not lost, any help or tutorial. first of all, Thanks!!! and eye is my first question
I think the safest and most scalable way is to offer a services API on a server and this last one that connects to the database.
You can also consume the API from another type of client, such as a website.
I am currently in the development of an application that connects to a MySQL database and from Android I use retrofit2 to consume the API and the server we are developing it with nodejs using the module node-mysql .
I hope you get the answer.
Regarding the class for connection org.apache.http.client.HttpClient
strong> as you comment, is currently obsolete, if you still need to use the classHttpClient , you can add this dependency in your build.gradle :
android {
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}
Although it is advisable to use the class HttpURLConnection if your target is Android 2.3 or higher (which is probably the case).
Example:
URL url = new URL("http://www.android.com/");
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
readStream(in);
finally {
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
Web Service ): This is a tutorial in Spanish of an Android application, that consumes a Web Service using HttpURLConnection, I hope it helps:
Good day, I agree with the answer made by Pablo, the best thing is that you create your restfull services. If you use PHP you can use Sublime that will help you create a restfull service quickly. I have also had the opportunity to use retrofit2 with rxjava. link It's very useful when it comes to keeping the value of a request at your service.Greetings
Hello dear, I would recommend that you use the Volley library that is the official google library (Android) to make mysql server requests through php generating xml, I used it to connect to a Bd Mysql, to consult data and at the same time make changes (Insert, Update) I leave a link for you to see a tutorial that served me: link
