Net

• Simple light-weight HTTP client based on HttpUrlConnection
• easy to use RESTful web-service communication
• run request on background thread and notify to UI thread when request is completed

Why use this

• no dependancy, built on top of URLConnection native.
• light-weight only single file 10kb add in project and start networking task,
• In recent version of android (Marshmallow) apache HttpClient has been removed, it made request difficult, other networking libraries obsolete
• make request, download any type of file, upload file, image loading, json request, etc.

GET

simple GET request

• create a new request with defined url

       Net<JsonArray> request = Net.create(this, "http://127.0.0.1/Login/user/auth");
       request.execute(new Callback<JsonArray>() {
       @Override
       public void onComplete(JsonArray result, Exception e) {
           if (result != null) {
               // something with result here
           } else {
               // print error in logcat
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
      });
  

• or u can define URL and just pass controler name

• append base url with controler

    Net.setBaseURL("http://127.0.0.1");
    
      Net<JsonArray> request = Net.with(this, "Login/user/auth");
      request.execute(new Callback<JsonArray>() {
      @Override
      public void onComplete(JsonArray result, Exception e) {
          if (result != null) {
              // something with result here
          } else {
              // print error in logcat
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
      }
     });
  

POST

        Net<JsonArray> request = Net.with(this, "Login/user/auth").add("key", "value").add("username", "sumeet")
            .add("password", "xxxxxxxxx").execute(new Callback<JsonArray>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(JsonArray result, Exception e) {
            if (result != null) {
                // something with result here
            } else {
                // print error in logcat
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
       });
or

          Net<JsonArray> request = Net.with(this, "Login/user/auth")
          request.add("key", "value");
          request.add("username", "abc");
          request.execute(new Callback<JsonArray>(....));

parameterized objects

• respone with define parameterized objects

• get request response as Drawable/Bitmap object or other

    Net<Drawable> request = Net.create(this, "https://github.com/fluidicon.png");
    request.asDrawable(true);
    request.execute(new Callback<Drawable>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(Drawable result, Exception e) {
            if (result != null) {
                image.setBackgroundDrawable(result);
                Utils.log("Load Drawable", "size ****  width = " + result.getIntrinsicWidth() + ", height = "
                        + result.getIntrinsicHeight());
            } else {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
