Android REST client library (supports RESTful JSON API)

Httpzoid - Android REST (JSON) Client

Overview

Httpzoid is designed to provide a simple way to deal with REST requests. Requests are asynchronous, callback handler runs in UI thread.

Quick start

This sample will make a post request to the specified url and send User object in JSON format.

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.post("http://example.com/users")
    .data(new User("John"))
    .send();

Request with callbacks.

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.post("http://example.com/users")
    .data(new User("John"))
    .handler(new ResponseHandler<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void success(Void ignore, HttpResponse response) {
        }

        @Override
        public void error(String message, HttpResponse response) {
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(NetworkError error) {
        }

        @Override
        public void complete() {
        }
    }).send();

Httpzoid works with objects or stream directly

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.get("http://example.com/users")
    .handler(new ResponseHandler<User[]>() {
        @Override
        public void success(User[] users, HttpResponse response) {
        }
    }).send();

InputStream input = new FileInputStream("avatar.jpg");
http.post("http://example.com/users/1/avatar")
    .data(input)
    .handler(new ResponseHandler<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void complete() {
            input.close();
        }
    }).send();
