How to call List Item in SharePoint Using REST API in Android?

I'm want to consume share point rest API service to call from Android previously i use to call share point web service through the graph API but while generating token from graph API its not support in below URL, does any one have any solution about this problem.
https://mysharepoint.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Announcements')/Items
JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, MSGRAPH_URL,
parameters,new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
/* Successfully called graph, process data and send to UI */
Log.d(TAG, "Response: " + response.toString());
updateGraphUI(response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put("Authorization", "Bearer " + authResult.getAccessToken());
return headers;
}
};
Log.d(TAG, "Adding HTTP GET to Queue, Request: " + request.toString());
request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
3000,
DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
queue.add(request);
I already tried with MSAL library but its does not work with this token.
Update: i used to call graph api for janrating token but i got 401 error with this above mention URL.

You are calling a SharePoint API, so you will need a SharePoint token instead of a Graph token. These are two separate APIs with different authentications.
To get a SharePoint token you will need to register an App in SharePoint itself or use the users username + password if available in your app.

For Graph, use an URL like this to get your list items:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?expand=fields(select=Column1,Column2)
You will probably need to do several calls to get your site ID and list ID first.

send json to Laravel using postman and android

i am trying to send json using postman to Lavavel but i facing this error.
enter image description here
this is my json code:
{
"email":"test#test.com",
"password":"testtest"
}
and this is Laravel codes :
Route::get('/r','test#store');
and
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DB;
use Log;
class test extends Controller
{
public function store(Request $request)
{
$email = $request->input('email');
$password = $request->input('password');
Log::info('test');
Log::info($email);
Log::info($password);
DB::table('login')->insert([
['email' => $email],
['password' => $password]
]);
}
}
also i trying using android for send data using volley and so checked Laravel logs :
Column 'email' cannot be null (this is Laravel logs)
and on android Logs:
E/Volley: [299] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 500 for http://192.168.1.4:8000/r
D/error: com.android.volley.ServerErro
my android code is :
public class ApiService {
private final Context context;
public ApiService(Context context){
this.context=context;
}
public void loginUser(String email, String password, final OnLoginResponse onLoginResponse){
JSONObject requestJsonObject=new JSONObject();
try {
requestJsonObject.put("email",email);
requestJsonObject.put("password",password);
JsonObjectRequest request=new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, "http://192.168.1.4:8000/r",requestJsonObject , new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.d("response",response.toString());
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("error",error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
public Map getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap headers = new HashMap();
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
return headers;
}
};
request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(18000,DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
Volley.newRequestQueue(context).add(request);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "loginUser: "+e.toString());
}
}
public interface OnLoginResponse{
void onResponse(boolean success);
}
}

I hope this helps people trying to search on how to send JSON data to laravel not only specific to android applications but to all. The goal of this solution is to identify whether you can send a JSON data to laravel or not.
First of all you have to download postman from https://www.getpostman.com/ to test if your API is really working or not.
Create a post request using postman. Be sure that you follow the example data below
Be sure that you set your Routes that would associate to the controller
This is the controller part that will show the JSON data you sent if it was successfully accepted or not.
And also, if ever you are trying to send POST data to laravel, by default they provided a CSRF Token which is applicable for the forms if you are going to use the MVC of laravel. For the meantime, we are going to take this down and comment it out. Just go to app/http/kernel.php
and now you'll get the following result from the code earlier
$json = json_decode($request['json']);
echo $json->{'email'};
echo "\n";
echo $json->{'password'};
We tested that we were able to send data to laravel. I hope this truly helps.

Wen you want to send data, you will want to use POST or PUT method on your postman, specially if you are sending a body, that means that you are sending data. Get method is used to retrieve data from a service.
Take a look into CRUD functions for more information.
Your postman should look something like this
Last in your android code try to change this line
JsonObjectRequest request=new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, "http://192.168.1.4:8000/r",requestJsonObject , new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
to use Request.Method.POST

API call with Java + STS returning "Content type 'application/octet-stream' not supported"

I am working on part of an API, which requires making a call to another external API to retrieve data for one of its functions. The call was returning an HTTP 500 error, with description "Content type 'application/octet-stream' not supported." The call is expected to return a type of 'application/json."
I found that this is because the response received doesn't explicitly specify a content type in its header, even though its content is formatted as JSON, so my API defaulted to assuming it was an octet stream.
The problem is, I'm not sure how to adjust for this. How would I get my API to treat the data it receives from the other API as an application/json even if the other API doesn't specify a content type? Changing the other API to include a contenttype attribute in its response is infeasible.
Code:
The API class:
#RestController
#RequestMapping(path={Constants.API_DISPATCH_PROFILE_CONTEXT_PATH},produces = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE})
public class GetProfileApi {
#Autowired
private GetProfile GetProfile;
#GetMapping(path = {"/{id}"})
public Mono<GetProfileResponse> getProfile(#Valid #PathVariable String id){
return GetProfile.getDispatchProfile(id);
}
The service calling the external API:
#Autowired
private RestClient restClient;
#Value("${dispatch.api.get_profile}")
private String getDispatchProfileUrl;
#Override
public Mono<GetProfileResponse> getDispatchProfile(String id) {
return Mono.just(id)
.flatMap(aLong -> {
MultiValueMap<String, String> headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
return restClient.get(getDispatchProfileUrl, headers);
}).flatMap(clientResponse -> {
HttpStatus status = clientResponse.statusCode();
log.info("HTTP Status : {}", status.value());
return clientResponse.bodyToMono(GetProfileClientResponse.class);
// the code does not get past the above line before returning the error
}).map(GetProfileClientResponse -> {
log.debug("Response : {}",GetProfileClientResponse);
String id = GetProfileClientResponse.getId();
log.info("SubscriberResponse Code : {}",id);
return GetProfileResponse.builder()
// builder call to be completed later
.build();
});
}
The GET method for the RestClient:
public <T> Mono<ClientResponse> get(String baseURL, MultiValueMap<String,String> headers){
log.info("Executing REST GET method for URL : {}",baseURL);
WebClient client = WebClient.builder()
.baseUrl(baseURL)
.defaultHeaders(httpHeaders -> httpHeaders.addAll(headers))
.build();
return client.get()
.exchange();
}
One solution I had attempted was setting produces= {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE} in the #RequestMapping of the API to produces= {MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_VALUE}, but this caused a different error, HTTP 406 Not Acceptable. I found that the server could not give the client the data in a representation that was requested, but I could not figure out how to correct it.
How would I be able to treat the response as JSON successfully even though it does not come with a content type?
Hopefully I have framed my question well enough, I've kinda been thrust into this and I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.

Are u using jackson library or jaxb library for marshalling/unmarshalling?
Try annotating Mono entity class with #XmlRootElement and see what happens.

How to make authenticated django rest api call from android client?

I am making an android app which has a django rest api as the backend and want to make authenticated network calls using the token given to the user when he/she has logged in.
I am using retrofit to make requests to the backend. Here is what I am doing right now to attempt to make an authenticated network call to the rest api.
#Override
public void loadAllUsers() {
Call<List<User>> call = userServiceApi.loadAllUsers();
call.enqueue(new Callback<List<User>>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(#NonNull Call<List<User>> call, #NonNull Response<List<User>> response) {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
List<User> users = response.body();
eventBus.post(new LoadAllUsersEvent(users));
} else {
eventBus.post(new FailLoadAllUsersEvent());
Log.d(TAG, response.message());
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Call<List<User>> call, #NonNull Throwable t) {
eventBus.post(new LoadUsersUnreachableServerEvent());
Log.d(TAG, t.toString());
}
});
}
Here is the retrofit interface relevant to this api request:
#GET("users/")
Call<List<User>> loadAllUsers(#Header("Authorization: Token ") Token token);
When I make this call passing the user's token in as the header, I get status code 401: Unauthenticated: "GET /users/ HTTP/1.1" 401 58
What am I doing wrong for django rest Token Authentication to work and to make an authenticated django rest api call?

The quick fix for this would be to change your api interface:
#GET("users/")
Call<List<User>> loadAllUsers(#Header("Authorization") Token token);
Value you are passing in should be formated as "Token %s".
This is not a very good solution, because you'd have to pass the token around to all of your api calls.
Better way to solve your authorization issues is by using OkHttp client and implement authenticator, which takes care of everything for you.
OkHttp and Retrofit work together very well.

Retrofit connection failure returns RetrofitError.response as null

Using Retrofit 1.6.0, OkHTTP 2.0.0, and OkHTTP-UrlConnection 2.0.0.
I am doing a POST to a service using Retrofit to a URL that does not exist. The failure callback is called, as expected. However, the RetrofitError parameter does not have a response. I would really like to grab the HTTP status code that was returned by using
error.getResponse().getStatus()
but since getResponse() returns null, I can't.
Why is getResponse() null and how can I get the status?
Thanks.
Also, the error I am receiving is UnknownHostException, as expected. Repeat: I am expecting this error. I want to know how to get the HTTP status code or why error.getResponse() returns null.
Edit: Here's some code:
RestAdapterBuilderClass.java
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint("http://badURL.DoesntMatter/");
.setRequestInterceptor(sRequestInterceptor)
.setLogLevel(RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL)
.build();
sService = restAdapter.create(ServiceInterface.class);
ServiceInterface.java
#POST("/Login")
void login(#Body JsonObject body, Callback<String> callback);
CallbackClass.java
#Override
public void failure(RetrofitError error) {
if (error.getResponse() == null) {
// error.getResponse() is null when I need to get the status code
// from it.
return;
}
}

When you get an UnknownHostException it means, that you were not able to establish a connection to the server. You cannot, in fact, expect a HTTP status in that case.
Naturally you only get a Http response (and with that a status) when you can connect to a server.
Even when you get a 404 status code, you made a connection to the server. That is not the same as a UnknownHostException.
The getResponse() can return null if you didn't get a response.

RetrofitError has a method called isNetworkError() that you can use to detect a failed request due to network problems. I usually add a small helper method like this:
public int getStatusCode(RetrofitError error) {
if (error.isNetworkError()) {
return 503; // Use another code if you'd prefer
}
return error.getResponse().getStatus();
}
and then use that result to handle any additional failure logic (logout on 401, display error message on 500, etc).

Just to expand on #lyio's answer, I found from Fabric logging that getKind() sometimes returns UNEXPECTED and then if you parse the message you get timeouts and connection issues so I wrote the utility class below.
public class NetworkUtils {
// Compiled from Fabric events
private static final List<String> networkErrorStrings = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(
"Unable to resolve host",
"Connection closed by peer",
"Failed to connect",
"timeout",
"Connection timed out"));
public static boolean isNetworkError(#Nullable RetrofitError retrofitError) {
if (retrofitError != null) {
if (retrofitError.getKind() != RetrofitError.Kind.NETWORK) {
for (String error : networkErrorStrings) {
if (retrofitError.getMessage().contains(error)) {
return true;
}
}
} else {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}

I am using Retrofit 2. When endpoint url end with "/" as in your case and again in your interface it starts with "/" [#POST("/Login")] causes this problem. Remove the "/" from .setEndpoint() method
