Android Asynchronous Http Client

I just want to share this snippet for requesting GET request using Android Asynchronous Http Client a Callback-Based Http Client Library for Android

Download the Library for Android Asynchronous Http Client

Move the downloaded library to your android project libs/ folder.

In your code import:

import com.loopj.android.http.*;

Here's the complete callbacks for GET request

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


 AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
 client.get("http://google.com", new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
 @Override
 public void onStart() {
 //Start progress indicator here
 }

 @Override
 public void onSuccess(String response) {
 //Hide progress indicator
 System.out.println(response); 
 }

 @Override
 public void onFailure(Throwable error, String content)
 {
 error.printStackTrace();
 }

 @Override
 public void onRetry() {
 // Request was retried
 }

 @Override
 public void onProgress(int bytesWritten, int totalSize) {
 // Progress notification
 }

 @Override
 public void onFinish() {
 // Completed the request (either success or failure)
 }



}
