I am designing a service class to update data into the server periodically. Everything is working fine, but I have to send the current UTC date time in this format "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss" to the server. I have tried a number of ways to achieve this, but they are not giving me the desired results.

How should I pick up the current utc date time in the above mentioned format and send it to the server?
P.S.: Sometimes while implementing different methods, I also found an IDE error saying new Date() constructor is not defined.
You can use System.currentTimeMillis() , this will return a long number of miliseconds starting from January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. You can use DateFormats to convert Dates to Strings in any timezone:
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("gmt"));
String gmtTime = df.format(new Date());
Why are you assigning null to your date value..?
Check this out:
Date formattedDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy MM dd, hh:mm a", Locale.US);
String time = sdf.format(formattedDate);

Here's my code for when i trying to register user and need a toast which is response from server regarding user already exist. i can post successfully to server using json but if there's response i have to idea how to catch it the image shows example when using postman.
public class RegisterActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener{
private EditText signupInputName, signupInputEmail, signupInputPassword, retypeInputPassword;

Postman response when email exist
Just change this code:
jObject = new JSONObject(result);
if (jObject.has("error"))
{
String aJsonString = jObject.getString("error");
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), aJsonString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Login Successful", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
catch (JSONException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),result+"" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
So by this code, if your response is not JSON it will throw exception in catch. And here you can show toast.
My client type is android and the language is Java.
This class connects to the server and gets the output stream to the connected server.
class ConnectToServer extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
try {
socket = new Socket(ip,port);
output = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
Log.d(TAG, "Connected To Server!");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
class SendToServer extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
//Our Json object
JSONObject obj;// = new JSONObject();
//this class is called when the login button is pressed, it sends the username and password as arguments
public SendToServer(String username, String password)
{
//instantiate the new object
obj = new JSONObject();
try {
//create the first field Type
obj.put("Type", new Integer(1)); //Type is something our Server will switch against-Type 1 = login request
obj.put("username", username); //our server will get username
obj.put("password",password); //our server will get password
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //if we get problems let the developer know
}
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
String jsonText = obj.toString(); //convert our json object into a string
byte[] b =jsonText.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")); //convert our json object into a byte array
try {
output.writeInt(b.length); // write length of the message
output.write(b); // write the message
output.flush(); //flush - empties the pipe
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
}
The purpose of this code is to send the server the users credentials.
In this C# Server
private void serverClient()
{
while(true)
{
int len = ns.ReadByte(); //read how much data
if (len == 0) //if this == 0 this means client has quit the program
break; //break out of loop and remove client from array list
if (len > 0) //we have a message
{
//read mess
byte[] message = new byte[len]; //create byte array
ns.Read(message, 0, message.Length); //read into the message byte array
string text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(message, 0, len);
string text1 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(message, 0, len); //build string from byte array up to how much data we got.
Console.WriteLine(text1);
}
}
removeClients();
}
So the Android client will send the credentials, but when the SendToServer class is called, the client disconnects from the server.
How can I send a Json string to my C# server so it can then read the string and serialize it into an object, depending on the fields.

nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("score", score));

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url_update);
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

is = entity.getContent();
Log.e("pass 1", "connection success ");
} catch (Exception e) {

Hope it helps you
You're reading lines but you aren't writing lines. Add a line terminator to the message being sent, or use println() instead of write().

I read questions to other people with the same problem. The solution seemed to be to add a "{" at the beginning of the json String and a "}" at the end, but it didn't work to me. I tried changing this:
String json = serviceClient.makeServiceCall(URL_NEW_PREDICTION,
ServiceHandler.POST, params);
to this:
String json = "{" + serviceClient.makeServiceCall(URL_NEW_PREDICTION,
ServiceHandler.POST, params) + "}";
but the I got this error:
"org.json.JSONException: Expected ':' after FIRST at character 9 of {FIRST DATA New record created successfully}"
You're receiving back a string that is not able to be parsed to JSON. You can't just make something JSON by adding braces, it needs to adhere to proper JSON formatting. This site shows some good examples of what that means.
Specifically, the parser is telling you that having a space after FIRST isn't okay without having quotes around it...but just adding that won't fix the issue, the problem is more deep than that.
I am working on a small test app that communicates with my website. It makes an HttpPost with credentials in order to see if the user is registered.
However, for some reason the post is made instantaniously even though it's supposed to take a second and it's always empty. It's a class I used about a year ago, was working back then.

Iterator<String> it = mData.keySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String key = it.next();
nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key, mData.get(key)));
}
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePair, "UTF-8"));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
result = EntityUtils.toByteArray(response.getEntity());
str = new String(result, "UTF-8");

The information sent to the server is definitely correct and should retrieve SOME message back, but here it's always empty. Maybe something in the background process is wrong.
What's going on in the logcat ? Do you have any exception there ?
And did you add the internet permission into your manifest ?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
I'm passing two strings between two activities and for some strange reason, the strings aren't being passed. I've done all the correct protocols and nothing seems to work, despite tinkering around with the code for several hours, I'm sure it's an simple solution, but I have no clue, what's so ever.

Try this way.
Intent a = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
a.putExtra("String1", "Hello World");
context.startActivity(a);
and
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String s1 = extras.getString("String1");
You should add both 2 activity in Mainfest.xml file
Check have you register your activity in manifest file.
