Space between words

[Stefce]

Hello i have a little problem with writing the words in the database, after some space between the words the database can't remember it, thats why because the link eg. ( /some_file.php?search=something%20wierd ) that "%20" its the space between the words but from my mobile application when ill type space doesnt write it into the database... what should i do ? :/

Also i want to give message "You are not connected to the Internet" if is true...

public static String sendSearch(String search) throws Exception {
    URL url = new URL("http://secretchatsk.host56.com/some_file.php?search="+search);
    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
    InputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
    String line;
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
    sb.append(line);
}
    reader.close();
    return sb.toString();
}

Thank You ! :)

You probably should be useing the URLEncoder class.

See stackoverflow: Java URL encoding

[Stefce]

Thank you men :)

Solution: "URL url = new URL("http://secretchatsk.host56.com/some_file.php?search="+URLEncoder.encode(search, "UTF-8"));"

what about internet connection ? :D

[stultuske]

try a ping before you do anything else.
ping for one or more very reliable sources
(www.google.com, www.facebook.com, www.microsoft.com, ... )
chances of those going offline are pretty slim.
ping fails? (especially for all of them?) it's pretty sure you're not connected.

Im sorry i dont get you, but i like the idea... :D
If you can repeat that ? :D

(Ignore previous version of this post - it doesn't work)

Sites may or may not respond to pings, so the only reliable way is to check a public service that definitely works. Eg try to make an connection to google.com on port 80 (google's search web site). eg

   InetAddress a = InetAddress.getByName("google.com");
   SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress(a, 80);
   socket = new Socket();
   socket.connect(sockaddr, 2000);

If the internet connection is unavailable for any reason the connect nethod will throw an IOException

[Stefce]

It gives me all time NoInternetConnction ... but its sending it ..

[JamesCherrill]

Can you be more explicit - exactly what code are you using and exactly what is the output?

[Stefce]

Just like this

try {
    InetAddress g = InetAddress.getByName("https://www.google.com/");
    SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress(g, 80);
    Socket socket = new Socket();
    socket.connect(sockaddr, 2000);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    LabelInfo.setText("No Internet Connection !" + e);
    return;
}

[stultuske]

and what does the stacktrace say?

[JamesCherrill]

Your getByName doesn't contain a valid name. It's just "www.google.com" or "google.com" (see my example code).

You'll see from the stack trace that this is the Exception, not an IOException.

android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

[JamesCherrill]

Oh, did you say before this android? My answers were valid for Windows/Mac/Linux, I don't use android at all, but the same code should work as long as it compiles!

Edit: Your exception is documented as "The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a networking operation on its main thread."
It seems there's a problem with where you have put the code in your application. There's no such exception for "normal" Java, so that's all I know, but this may help:

[Stefce]

I have tried on different ways but still showing that "No Internet Connection" but after 1 sec. later it shows that is sended to the database ...

[JamesCherrill]

Once again: what was the exact exception stack trace?

[Stefce]

I have solved the problem but now its crashing the app when no connection..

[Stefce]

Once again: what was the exact exception stack trace?

Sorry i didn't see it..

OK. The link I gave you explains that and how to fix it.
