API Rest
HTTP verbs are the request methods we use along with the endpoints to access a particular api route.
Endpoint | Verbs | Action |
/get | GET | Retrieves new information |
/post | POST | Create new information |
/put | PUT | Change an information |
/delete | DELETE | Delete information |
One of the ways to make requests is to create PressListener for Button, in the example below I will demonstrate how to get the response of the request in a variable and display in a Label
PressListener
//String uri = Requisition URL
//HttpMethod httpMethod = HTTP Verbs
PressListener getPressListener(final String url, String httpType) {
return (e) -> {
//msg variable will be responsible for storing the request response
String msg = "";
try {
HttpStream.Options options = new HttpStream.Options();
options.httpType = httpType;
HttpStream httpStream = new HttpStream(new URI(url), options);
ByteArrayStream bas = new ByteArrayStream(4096);
bas.readFully(httpStream, 10, 2048);
String data = new String(bas.getBuffer(), 0, bas.available());
Response<ResponseData> response = new Response<>();
response.responseCode = httpStream.responseCode;
if (httpStream.responseCode == 200){
response.data = (JSONFactory.parse(data, ResponseData.class));
//Accessing the answer and picking up the information.
msg += "Url: " + response.data.getUrl() + "\n";
msg += "Origin: " + response.data.getOrigin();
}
} catch (IOException e1) {
msg = "erro";
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
lblResult.setText(msg);
lblResult.setRect(KEEP, KEEP, PREFERRED, PREFERRED);
};
}
public static class Response<T> {
public T data;
public int responseCode;
}
Creating the packet to receive the response in order to handle the data obtained from the request
Structures
└── src
└── main
└── java
└── com.your_company_name.your_name_app
.
.
.
└── ResponseData
└── Args
└── ResponseData
and now create the class to store the information
ResponseData class
Args class
package com.totalcross.RestApi.ResponseData;
public class ResponseData {
Args args;
String origin;
String url;
public Args getArgs() {
return args;
}
public void setArgs(Args args) {
this.args = args;
}
public String getOrigin() {
return origin;
}
public void setOrigin(String origin) {
this.origin = origin;
}
public String getUrl() {
return url;
}
public void setUrl(String url) {
this.url = url;
}
}
package com.totalcross.RestApi.ResponseData;
public class Args {
private String args;
public String getArgs() {
return args;
}
public void setArgs(String args) {
this.args = args;
}
}
Now just put that pressListener on your button by changing only the endpoint and the verb, see the example below
@Override
public void initUI() {
String binUrl = "http://httpbin.org";
Button btnGet = new Button("GET");
btnGet.addPressListener(getPressListener(binUrl + "/get", HttpStream.GET));
add(btnGet, LEFT, AFTER, FILL, fmH * 3);
Button btnPost = new Button("POST");
btnPost.addPressListener(getPressListener(binUrl + "/post", HttpStream.POST));
add(btnPost, LEFT, AFTER, FILL, fmH * 3);
Button btnPut = new Button("PUT");
btnPut.addPressListener(getPressListener(binUrl + "/put", HttpStream.PUT));
add(btnPut, LEFT, AFTER, FILL, fmH * 3);
Button btnDelete = new Button("DELETE");
btnDelete.addPressListener(getPressListener(binUrl + "/delete", HttpStream.DELETE));
add(btnDelete, LEFT, AFTER, FILL, fmH * 3);
lblResult = new Label(" ");
add(lblResult, LEFT, AFTER);
}
