HTTP Requests in Glass GDK - httprequest

Question

I am implementing a GDK application and need to do in my application some HTTP Post requests. Do I send the HTTP requests the same way as on android phone or there is some other way of doing it? (I have tried the code that I am using on my phone and it's not working for glass.)
thanks for your help in advance.

You can make any post request like in smartphones, but ensure you make the requests using an AsyncTask.
For example:
private class SendPostTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Make your request POST here. Example:
myRequestPost();
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// Do something when finished.
}
}
And you can call that asynctask anywhere with:
new SendPostTask().execute();
And example of myRequestPost() may be:
private int myRequestPost() {
int resultCode = 0;
String url = "http://your-url-here";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
// add headers you want, example:
// post.setHeader("Authorization", "YOUR-TOKEN");
List<NameValuePair> urlParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "111111"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("otherField", "your-other-data"));
try {
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(urlParameters));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
System.out.println("\nSending 'POST' request to URL : " + url);
System.out.println("Post parameters : " + post.getEntity());
System.out.println("Response Code : " +
response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
resultCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
System.out.println(result.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("POST", e.getMessage());
}
return resultCode;
}
