Why HTTPUrlConnection and not okhttp or even retrofit ? about agera HOT 8 CLOSED

One thing about HTTPUrlConnection made it not very newbie-friendly was the implementation with AsycnTask. As @ernstsson just said:

Anything providing a synchronous interface is easily called from an Agera Function

So it should be no harder than implementing the Retrofit or Volley, and since Retrofit and Volley does have those interface, you can easily integrate them, no? For some projects it would also be awesome to go fully native anyway.

That being said, old benchmark said that Retrofit was performing better than HTTPUrlConnection, as well as having that auto-caching mechanism. I would really like to see how the Agera with HTTPUrlConnection perform, but I would not bet too much on them.

So yeah, Google project using Google component. Weird, eh?

As of 4.4, HttpUrlConnection on Android uses OkHttp under the hood anyway. I'd be interested to see if any benchmarks showing Retrofit as faster than HttpUrlConnection still hold true.

The extensions are more to be considered as fully functional sample extension libraries at this point. I can definitely see extensions of the kind you're referring to (although there is no immediate need for these specific ones by our own projects at the moment). Anything providing a synchronous interface is easily called from an Agera Function (or even a Supplier in some cases).
HTTPUrlConnection (as well as SQLiteDatabase) makes for a good sample extension, since it is part of the platform and no additional dependencies are needed.

maybe there are some not released extensions addressing this point?

how to send a post request with parameter ？ i think the net module is too young

from agera.

Are you referring to URL parameters? The URL in the request is a simple String. You can add parameters either though direct string concatenation, or using Android classes like Uri to create the String.
Still, an interesting idea, letting the actual HttpRequest compiler add parameters directly.

i know how to achieved it, but as this issue , i think okhttp or retrofit is good enough

@ernstsson it has so many final and private class !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
