Android Question Http patch command

[EdmundHerbert]

Hi I have application that uses http patch command

I see in HttpJob no support for example PatchString(XXXX

Has anybody used patch

Regards

OkHttp supports patch requests.

OkHttp - Replaces the Http library

It should be simpler to add a PatchString method to HttpJob. Just copy PostString and PostBytes and change the initialize method to Patch instead of Post.

I changed to OkHttp i now get error below

{"code":"BadArgument","message":"Invalid Media Type."}
Result: Unsupported Media Type
415 : Unsupported Media Type

I used same code with PutString that was working before as soon as I changed to OkHttp

       Try       
       
           Dim GroupMap As Map
           GroupMap.Initialize 
           GroupMap.Put("name",EPersonGroupName.Text)     
           GroupMap.Put("userData",EPersonGroupUserData.Text)         
           Dim JSONGenerator As JSONGenerator       
           JSONGenerator.Initialize(GroupMap)
           Dim JSONstring As String
           JSONstring = JSONGenerator.ToString     
           Dim job2 As HttpJob         
           job2.Initialize("job2",Me) ' Create Person Group         
           job2.PutString("https://api.projectoxford.ai/face/v0/persongroups/"&       groupId,JSONstring)       
           job2.GetRequest.SetHeader("Content-Type","application/json")
           job2.GetRequest.SetHeader("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
         
         
       Catch
         ToastMessageShow("Comms with Oxford failed",False)
       End Try

I changed to OkHttp i now get error below

you should privide more informations. In this case you should upload the changed bas file. Or post the relevant code from it

 

[EdmundHerbert]

I added this code to the HttpJob file which worked before I changed to OkHttp

As per my previous post this uses a REST service where I send Json data to Microsoft Azure Web Service.

'Sends a PUT request with the given data as the put data.
Public Sub PutString(Link As String, Text As String)
   PutBytes(Link, Text.GetBytes("UTF8"))
End Sub

'Sends a PUT request with the given string as the put data
Public Sub PutBytes(Link As String, Data() As Byte)
   req.InitializePut2(Link, Data)
   CallSubDelayed2(HttpUtils2Service, "SubmitJob", Me)
End Sub

Hi all, this is quite urgent, cannot do HTTP Put with OkHttp is anybody else having problems?

 

[Erel]

Do you need to create a PUT request or a PATCH request?

 

[EdmundHerbert]

Hi Erel I need Put, Patch, Get, File all HTTP commands, as I said before the put used to work after changing to OkHttp put and patch do not work

 

[Erel]

Two notes:
1. There is no such thing as File method.
2. The Try / Catch block is not needed. If there is a communication problem then Job.Success will be false in JobDone.

You need to set the content type with:

Job2.GetRequest.SetContentType(...)

Hi Erel

Thank you very much you are the Man

Works perfectly
