why isn't Volley sending the variables in getParams()?

I'm Trying to list machines which are related to the user of the application by sending the username and password to the webpage mentioned in the code verifying the account and then sending back the information of the machines in my database.
the PHP well but the username and password are not being sent.
here is the code for the request:
private void getServerResponse(String username,String password) throws IOException {
String urlS = "http://10.0.2.2/send/sendmachines.php";
RequestQueue RQ= Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
JsonArrayRequest array_request = new JsonArrayRequest(Request.Method.POST, urlS, null, new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
TextView proof =findViewById(R.id.proof);
for(int i=0; i<response.length(); i++){
try {
proof.setText(response.getJSONObject(0).getString("machine_id"));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
TextView proof =findViewById(R.id.proof);
proof.setText(error.getMessage());
}
}){
protected Map<String,String> getParams(){
Map<String,String > params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("username",username);
params.put("password",password);
return params;
}
};
RQ.add(array_request);
}
the username and password were already used to log in and sent as extras to this activity.

in the end it turned out that the code isn't passing through the getParams() so i turned it to a string request and parsed the response string into a jsonArray.
i couldn't find much information about it online so IDK why all this isn't working and i cant consider this an answer so it's more of an update.

Android Volley not being recognized as POST on server with php

I am using volley to sent post to my server. in my php inside insert.php i have code like this
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
//do all post functions
}
else{
//notofication that says its not post
}
This is my volley code in my android
String HttpUrl = "http://192.168.30.18/insert.php";
// Creating string request with post method
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, HttpUrl,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String ServerResponse) {
// Hiding the progress dialog after all task complete.
progressDialog.dismiss();
// Showing response message coming from server.
Toast.makeText(CreateAccountOrLoginActivity.this, ServerResponse, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d("responseSuccess",ServerResponse);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError volleyError) {
// Hiding the progress dialog after all task complete.
progressDialog.dismiss();
// Showing error message if something goes wrong.
Toast.makeText(CreateAccountOrLoginActivity.this, volleyError.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d("responseFail",volleyError.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
// Creating Map String Params.
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
// Adding All values to Params.
params.put("title",title);
params.put("name", fname);
params.put("surname", sname);
return params;
}
};
// Creating RequestQueue.
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(CreateAccountOrLoginActivity.this);
// Adding the StringRequest object into requestQueue.
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);
The problem is after the android code is run, it returns what is in the else statement of the insert.php instead of what is in the if statement, meaning it is not being recognized as a post. How do i resolve it to make it run in the if statement

How to set checks on different responses volley and get different responses when the request is string request

I'm sending post request for login user on server through volley string request. It works perfectly but the problem is that after sending request server returns me two responses one is success in which token id is given and the other one is failure in which unauthorized user is toast. Im getting the response perfectly but can use check to differentiate these responses. Kindly someone helps me Im very thakful to you.
I'm trying many times but can't get the exact solution.
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url =LOGIN_URL;
final StringRequest strRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), response, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
})
{
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("grant_type", grant_type);
params.put("client_id", client_id);
params.put("client_secret", client_secret);
params.put("username", email);
params.put("password", password);
return params;
}
};
queue.add(strRequest);

How do you obtain a Auth token using webView in android?

I need to receive the token on my Android aplication..
I created and API on laravel, and i need to receive a token, but i dont know how to do it on android.

It would be difficult to read a token into a WebView and then try to extract it from the WebView. Typically, you just make an HTTP Request to an API method to get the token, then store the token for later use. Here is an example of doing that, which doesn't involve using the WebView:
// You need a URL to an API method that will return the token
if (apiToken.length() == 0) {
getToken("https://mycompany.com/account-services/api/v1/token");
}
private void getToken(String url) {
StringRequest postRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
try {
// Response JSON contains the token
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response);
apiToken = obj.getString("access_token");
// Save the token in the shared appPrefs so it can be referenced in other classes
SharedPreferences appPrefs = getSharedPreferences("appPreferences",MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = appPrefs.edit();
prefsEditor.putString("apiToken", apiToken);
prefsEditor.commit();
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("myapp", "JSONException Error: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("myapp", "Response Error: " + error.toString());
}
}) {
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
// Most Token API methods have their own secret user id and password
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("grant_type", "password");
params.put("username", "apiusername");
params.put("password", "apipassword");
return params;
}
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
// This API expects the parameters in the form of "grant_type=password&username=apiusername&password=apipassword"
headers.put("Accept", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
return headers;
}
};
// the Request Queue has been declared in the Application object on app startup
MyApplication.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(postRequest);
}

Make POST request to Api in Android Studio

I'm trying to make a POST request to an api that I have created in Visual Studio. The api works, and I finally managed to find some code that allows me to connect to it (and it's not deprecated). The problem is that this code was made for a GET request while I need to make a POST. I created two boxes where I insert the data I want to pass (utente, password) and I created a button that takes the data from the boxex and convert them to string.
I tried already searching a lot of examples and tutorials that show how to make a POST request but the majority are very old and doesn't work anymore in Android Studio, or at least I can't make them work.
Now, this is the function that should be sending the data, I haven't touched the code since I don't really know what to modify except for the Request Method.
private StringRequest searchNameStringRequest(String utente, String password)
{
String url = "http://192.168.1.11:57279/api/utente";
return new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response)
{
try
{
JSONObject result = new JSONObject(response).getJSONObject("list");
int maxItems = result.getInt("end");
JSONArray resultList = result.getJSONArray("item");
}
catch (JSONException e)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Food source is not responding (USDA API)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
Can someone explain me how to take the data and send it like a JSON Object that has
keys = user, password
values = utente, password (the values are from the two boxes mentioned before)
Thank to anyone who is willing to help me and I hope that asking for so much help isn't against the site rules.
I'm using Volley since is not so complicated and because it seems to work.
Using the GET method it show me the existing json with message cannot be converted to JSON object (I don't care about that, it's just a confirmation that it connects to the api)
Using the POST method it throws the ErrorResponse at the end (Food source is not responding)
EDIT: Added OnCreate method since I need a StringRequest return
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
Button invia = findViewById(R.id.submit);
final EditText utenteInserito = findViewById(R.id.utente);
final EditText passwordInserito = findViewById(R.id.password);
invia.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String utente = utenteInserito.getText().toString();
String password = passwordInserito.getText().toString();
queue.cancelAll(R.id.submit);
StringRequest stringRequest = searchNameStringRequest(utente, password);
stringRequest.setTag(R.id.submit);
queue.add(stringRequest);
}
});
}
EDIT: I have followed the suggested answer given but it doesn't seem to work
The resulting code is shown below but I get the OnErrorResponse, I don't think it's a problem with the api because trying with a GET response it gives me the exiting json array, so I think it's a problem with the code.
private StringRequest searchNameStringRequest(final String utente, final String password)
{
String url = "http://192.168.1.11:57279/api/utente";
StringRequest request = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(String response)
{
System.out.println(response);
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener()
{
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Service Unavailable",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
error.printStackTrace();
}
})
{
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams()
{
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("user", utente.trim());
map.put("password",password.trim());
return map;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext());
requestQueue.add(request);
return request;
}

It's working following this question:
How to send a POST request using volley with string body?
Thanks to you all for your interest.

String url = "your url";
StringRequest request = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
System.out.println(response);
dialog.dismiss();
try {
// your logic when API sends your some data
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
dialog.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(context,"Service Unavailable",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
error.printStackTrace();
}
}){
//This is how you will send the data to API
#Override
protected Map<String, String> getParams(){
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("name",username.getText().toString());
map.put("password",password.getText().toString());
return map;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext());
requestQueue.add(request);
}

Here is a nice tutorial, I have tried it and it worked seamlessly.
