JSON response to Django in Android
I’m trying to get jSON responses in Android from a Django-based web backend.
The response I got was
03-19 16:32:32.120: I/System.out(7442): This si the response march API <!doctype html> <!--[if IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie7 oldie" lang="en"> <![ endif]--> <!--[if IE 8]> <html class="no-js ie8 oldie" lang="en"> <!

Android request
private String GetPickUpDetails(String pick_up_id2) {
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
String stringUrl=Constants.PICKUP_DETAILS+pick_up_id2+"/";
URL url;
try {
url = new URL(stringUrl);
HttpURLConnection httpconn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
if (httpconn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpconn.getInputStream()),8192);
String strLine = null;
while ((strLine = input.readLine()) != null)
{
response.append(strLine);
}
input.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("This si the response march API "+response.toString()+" for url"+stringUrl);
return response.toString();
}
Django View code
def pickup_details(request,id):
awb_dict={}
if request. POST:
print "this is post request",id
shipment_records=[]
shippments=Shipment.objects.filter(pickup_id=id)
for obj in shippments:
awb=obj.airwaybill_number
order_number=obj.order_number
pincode=obj.pincode
dest_sc=obj.service_centre
type=obj.product_type
if(type == "ccd"):
col_val=obj.collectable_value
else:
col_val=""
status=obj.status
city=obj.destination_city
act_wt=obj.actual_weight
dest_SC="hi"
dest_SC=obj.service_centre
#dest_SC=String(dest_SC).replace('-',' ')
record={"awb":awb,"ordernumber":order_number,"pincode":pincode,"weight":act_wt,"status":status,"city":city,"type":type,"col_value":col_val,"dest_SC":city}
shipment_records.append(record)
awb_dict["count"]=len(shipment_records)
awb_dict["shipments"]=shipment_records
#else:
#pass
return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(awb_dict) )
I’m not quite sure why I’m not getting the expected jSON response. After manually clicking on the URL, I get the expected JSON response
Edit 1
I’ve also tried this method
try{
URL url = new URL(stringUrl);
HttpURLConnection httpconn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
if (httpconn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpconn.getInputStream()),8192);
String strLine = null;
while ((strLine = input.readLine()) != null)
{
response.append(strLine);
}
input.close();
}
}catch (Exception e) {
TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return response.toString();
}
Edit 2
The error I’m getting is an HTTP 403 request while trying to send the request because the value didn’t reach the API call
Edit 3
I get an HTTP response of 200. HttpEntity entity of code = response.getEntity(); The value is org.apache.http.conn.BasicMangedEntity@4055505d0
Solution
The response redirects me to a custom login page where I used @csrf_exempt. The code requires further login details to process the information. I added login parameters on call and got the required response
