REST API Issue about kontakt-android-sdk HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi, I'm not Android developer but as far I see this is more REST API related question.
Are you sending this request using POST HTTP Method?
Request parameters should be send as form urlencoded body.

from kontakt-android-sdk.

Here is a code snippet used to send a POST request through HTTPS. The response String returns an "update successful." message.

Example for a name value pair:

NameValuePair accept = new BasicNameValuePair("Accept", "application/vnd.com.kontakt+json;version=5");


String url = "https://api.kontakt.io/device/update?&deviceType=beacon&tx_power=4&uniqueId=tk4t";

HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
post.addHeader(api_key.getName(), api_key.getValue());
post.addHeader(accept.getName(), accept.getValue());

try {
    post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(requests, HTTP.UTF_8));
} catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    Log.e("ENTITY", e.getMessage());
}

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpResponse httpResponse;

try {
    httpResponse = client.execute(post);
    int responseCode = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
    String message = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase();

    HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();

    if (entity != null) {

        InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
        String response = convertStreamToString(instream);

        // Closing the input stream will trigger connection release
        instream.close();
    }

} catch (ClientProtocolException e)  {
    client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Note that this is all done inside an AsyncTask task

Hey @alishak, try sending your POST request with the url https://api.kontakt.io/device/update and move all the parameters to the UrlEncodedFormEntity (http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/client/entity/UrlEncodedFormEntity.html).

You specified incorrect parameter name to be updated. Instead of tx_power there should be txPower. I was wrong saying about case sensitivity in device type. The deviceType can be of type BEACON or beacon.

To avoid the mistakes like yours, you can use KontaktApiClient which allows to perform CRU operations on /device resource.

Let us know once you succeed please and close the issue if everything is correct. Thanks.

Hello!

In case anyone else runs into this issue, the problem was the txPower parameter name. I would just like to point out that there may be a typo in the documentation: http://docs.kontakt.io/rest-api/resources/#update-device

Both UrlEncodedFormEntity AND NameValuePair will work for headers.

Thank you.

Thanks @alishak - yes, the documentation was incorrect - that's corrected and flagged for update now. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on Beacon application. I have created a service that runs at
background and started it with START_STICKY. The problem I am facing is in
registerMonitoringListener . My onRegionAbandoned and onRegionEntered
methods are getting called again and again when I am range of beacons. My
worry is when I am in range onRegionEntered should be called once and
thats it and onRegionAbandoned top be called when I move out of it. But
when I am in range both the functions are getting called again and again.
Is this the normal behaviour or else I am doing anything wrong.

Regards

Prayag
