How to validate Apple's "Auto-Renewable In App Purchase Receipt Validation" API using java?

Can someone guide me how to test iOS(auto-renewable IAP) Receipt Validation API by using Sandbox URL?
I have tried this below snippet.
public void validateReceiptData(VerifyReceiptRequestView requestview) {
System.out.println("validateReceiptData ....................");
String VERIFICATION_URL=" https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt";
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
try {
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(VERIFICATION_URL);
JSONObject requestData = new JSONObject();
requestData.put("receipt-data", requestview.getReceiptdata());
requestData.put("password", requestview.getPassword());
StringEntity requestEntity = new StringEntity(requestData.toString());
request.addHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setEntity(requestEntity);
HttpResponse response =httpClient.execute(request);
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
JSONObject responseJSON = new JSONObject(responseBody);
System.out.println("responseJSON -------------->"+responseJSON);
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
But I need sample request data for the below mentioned fields
requestData.put("receipt-data", requestview.getReceiptdata());
requestData.put("password", requestview.getPassword());
Does the field requestview.getReceiptdata() requires any Valid Purchased receipt or does Apple provides any sample receipt data to test this API in SandBox environment.

HTTP PATCH request in Java

I am trying to make a HTTP PATCH request in Java, but despite my efforts this is not working.
I am trying to PATCH a Json, here is my code:
HttpResponse response = null;
BufferedReader rd = null;
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
HttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPatch httpPatch = new HttpPatch("http://myURL");
JsonArrayBuilder Abuilder = Json.createArrayBuilder();
JsonObjectBuilder oBuilder = Json.createObjectBuilder();
for(int i=0;i<48;i++){
Abuilder.add(i+1);
}
oBuilder.add("date", "2016-09-08");
oBuilder.add("values",Abuilder);
JsonObject jo = Json.createObjectBuilder().add("puissance", Json.createObjectBuilder().add("curves",Json.createArrayBuilder().add(oBuilder))).build();
try{
//Execute and get the response.
StringEntity params =new StringEntity(jo.toString());
params.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
httpPatch.setEntity(params);
response = httpclient.execute(httpPatch);
System.out.println("Response Code : " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
result.append(line);
}
}catch(Exception e){
}
When I execute this request, I get a
"400 Error: The request has an invalid header name".
When I execute this request using Postman, this is working fine.
I am quite new at HTTP requests so do not hesitate to ask if you need more details.

StringEntity.setContentEncoding is used to set the Encoding type,
You should use StringEntity.setContentType to set the ContentType

Problem-
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.patchForObject("http://localhost:8080/employee/1", requestBody, String.class);
Solution-
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.postForObject("http://localhost:8080/employee/1?_method=patch", requestBody, String.class);

httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
// 8. Execute POST request to the given URL

while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
inputStream.close();
return result;
}
but i m still getting 403 Error, allowed Ip is not Configuration
Help/ Suggestion are appreciated.thanks

I figure it our Myself. if you are having trouble using Google gelocation Api and getting 403 error. then you have to follow these steps . it is Simple :)
decrease the no of API request to 0
then disable the Geolocation API
Create a New Project
Then enable the Google Geolocation Api
Add / increase the No of request of API
Create the Android API Key
Server API key
Use it
and you are good to go , now you can use your google geolocation api with ease
Hope it will help
thanks

Accessing a login api using http get method in android

I am developing an android app which uses a login api, which will allow its web users to login with their same credentials on the android device.....
the url for the api is
https://api.ecoachsolutions.com/main.php?ecoachsignin=1&server=remote&user=ecoachguest&pass=ecoachguest
which retuns a response in json
JSON object: {
status: <success or error>,
msg: <response message>,
profile: <user profile object>
}
I tried this code which I found searching on the internet but it isn't working,
private void doLogin(View view) {
//ALERT MESSAGE
_spinner.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(mContext, "connecting to server.... ",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// URLEncode user defined data
String usernameValue = username.getText().toString();
String passValue = password.getText().toString();
// Create http cliient object to send request to server
HttpClient Client = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Create URL string
String URL = "https://api.ecoachsolutions.com/main.php?ecoachsignin=1&server=remote&user="+usernameValue+"&pass="+passValue;
Log.i("httpget", URL);
try
{
String SetServerString ;
// Create Request to server and get response
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(URL);
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
SetServerString = Client.execute(httpget, responseHandler);
System.out.println(usernameValue);
System.out.println(passValue);
// Show response on activity
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),SetServerString,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Fail",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
_spinner.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}
will appreciate the help or the positive direction thanks :)

Change your code to get the HttpResponse like below,
String responseBody = "";
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
int responseCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
Log.i("GET Response Code ",responseCode + "");
switch(responseCode) {
// Means server is responding
case 200:
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if(entity != null) {
responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
// Now you can try printing your returned string here, before you go for JSON parsing
}
break;
// Add more case statements to handle other scenarios
}
The code is simple, but if still unable to understand, don't hesitate to ask.

Passing arraylist of objects from Java to PHP via Apache HTTPClient

I have a java program that passes data to a php webservice via apache httpclient. Currently all it is passing is user authentication details and a string variable. These are received and handled fine on the PHP side. I would also like to pass an ArrayList of objects in a way that I can read the object attributes from PHP. Is there a way to do this directly in the same way I'm passing parameters or do I need to use JSON objects or something else? The objects contained have 4 attributes, not just name value pairs.
My Java code looks like so:
public void upload(ArrayList<MyObject> myList) throws Exception{
//HTTP POST Service
try{
HttpClient httpclient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
URI uri = new URIBuilder()
.setScheme("http")
.setHost("www.mysite.com")
.setPath("/webservice.php")
.build();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(uri);
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var1", var1));
String encoding = new String(
org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64
(org.apache.commons.codec.binary.StringUtils.getBytesUtf8(userID + ":" + password))
);
httppost.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
System.out.println(response);
HttpEntity httpEntity = response.getEntity();
String str = "";
if (httpEntity != null) {
str = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity);
System.out.println(str);
}
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
EDIT:
My use case for this is basically that I want to update a MySQL database table on my server with each attribute of my java object being the value of one field (i.e. one object = one table row). So I want to be able to pass my ArrayList such that I can add multiple rows to my database table in one go.
EDIT2. Okay I now have the following method to construct my JSONArray where the variables passed were previously the attributes of my object. The JSON objects are now what would previously have been my object, and the jsonArray is what would previously have been my ArrayList. Is this correct? How can I post it from my httpclient?
public void constructJSON(long var1, int var2, int var3, int var4){
JSONObject obj;
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
try {
obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("var1:", var1);
obj.put("var2:", var2);
obj.put("var3:", var3);
obj.put("var4:", var4);
jsonArray.put(obj);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
