Java Android Asynchttpclient Convert Byte[]responsebody To Inputstream

I want to create a methos which return a InputStream I did this : public static InputStream sendGetDataRequest(Context context, St

Solution 1:

Because client.post is an asynchronous call while return is[0] is a synchronous. This means that is[0] is null as long as the async call is not done yet. One way to solve is by making sendGetDataRequest return void and instead accepts a callback e.g.

publicstaticvoidsendGetDataRequest(final YourCallback callback, ...)

Create a new Interface named YourCallback

publicinterfaceYourCallback{
  voidonSuccess(String string);
  voidfailure();
}

And use that Callback inside the async method

 client.post(context,url,values , newAsyncHttpResponseHandler(Looper.getMainLooper()) {

            @OverridepublicvoidonSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody) {
                callback.onSuccess(convertStreamToString(is[0]));
            }

            @OverridepublicvoidonFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody, Throwable error) {
              callback.onFailure(); 
            }
}

Finally you call your static method like this

sendGetDataRequest(new YourCallback(){/* Override the methods */}, ...);

By the way you could also use AsyncTask from the android package which does everything above. It's personal preference.
