Hey working on an Android app with Zendesk SDK integration I need to do a simple HTTP POST request with basic authentication so I can get a user token back from a ASP script I'm hosting on IIS but I cannot for the life of me get it going. Every single example I see is somehow outdated even when I try to import the libraries they are using can anyone point me towards a good resource to get this done?

New at the IntelliJ IDEA GUI designer. Is there a good way to get the selected panel in the above image containing the three buttons to be actually centered in the window, not pushed a little bit left by the Finish button? I tried a few arrangements with the Finish button inside that panel and a horizontal spacer between it but then the Finish button wouldn't push all the way to the right edge.

And also to enforce a minimum size on the whole window so it can't be shrunk smaller than needed to display those controls need -- do I have to manually figure out the number of pixels or can I do it with policies and maybe spacers?

In my last project Ive used OkHttp, it worked pretty well, and is very easy to use:

http://square.github.io/okhttp/

There are POST examples there.

The only problem I had was when I needed to upload a file, for that the documentation is kinda wrong (I did got it working later).

EDIT: that example is actually kinda weird, here is what worked for me (receiving a JSON as response):

code:

FormEncodingBuilder builder = new FormEncodingBuilder();
builder.add('field', 'value');

RequestBody requestBody = builder.build();

Request request = new Request.Builder().url('http://your-url.com').post(requestBody).build();

client = new OkHttpClient();

try
{
	Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

	ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

	String body = response.body().string();

	PojoClass response = (PojoClass)mapper.readValue(body, PojoClass.class);	
}//try client execute
catch(IOException e)
{
	...
}//cacha e

"PojoClass" being any simple simple class with getters/setters matching the JSON response object.

While I dabbled a bit with Android, never had a need for making a POST request to a service. Therefore, I have a question:

Doesn't the Android SDK have the java.net classes? Specifically URL, with URLConnection and such? Because, for simple stuff, you cannot really beat the builtin classes. For more complex things, yes use other libraries (Apache's or this OkHttp), but simple stuff ... why bother?

Awesome thank you this was right along the idea of what I was trying to accomplish I think I need some to make some slight modifications for basic auth and I will be finally making some progress on this.

So trying this out running into a weird issue

I compiled the Okio and OkHTTP libraries but it still doesn't recognize like half the commands like the .request, not sure maybe I need to import something else or what I'm missing here.

Paste the code, not the screenshot. Also, check your imports and make sure you're using the right thing.

Hey java thread, I need your help with simple java stuff
I can't seem to wrap my head around how to add an object to an arrayList. The arraylist and object are both in different classes, I've exhausted and read a bunch of different sources and can't seem to find any help.
Here's the code for the Person class which creates the object

code:

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private String number;
    
    public Person (String name, String number){
        this.name = name;
        this.number = number;
        
        
    }
    
    public String toString(){
        return this.name + " number: " + this.number;
    }
    public String getName(){
        return this.name;
    }
    public String getNumber(){
        return this.number;
    }
    public void changeNumber(String newNumber){
        this.number = newNumber;
    }
}

and here's the Phonebook class where I create the arrayList and add the Person object to it.

code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Phonebook {
   ArrayList <Phonebook> person = new ArrayList <Phonebook>();
   
   
   public void add(String name, String number){
       person.add(new Person(name, number));
       
   }
public void printAll (){
        for (Phonebook members : person)
            System.out.println( members );
            
        }
    }

What the hell am I missing? This stuff should be easy but I'm just missing something from here. I've gone back and reread different sections of my class but can't really find the answer.

Also here's the main program:

code:

public class Main{
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Phonebook phonebook = new Phonebook();
    
    phonebook.add("Pekka Mikkola", "040-123123");
    phonebook.add("Edsger Dijkstra", "045-456123");
    phonebook.add("Donald Knuth", "050-222333");

    phonebook.printAll();
}
}

What's the current recommendation for REST API frameworks? I'm working on something for a personal project and I'm not sure what to use. I started down the path of using Jersey with Tomcat but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. I'm thinking of looking into spring-boot but the Spring framework kind of scare me.

Edit: Even though it's for a personal project I'd to use it to learn something that would be useful for working on a larger application as well. Also, I've looked at Spark (not Apache Spark) but I'm not sure how mature that is.

Jersey is great because its JAX-RS, so if for some reason you have an issue you can swap in another JAX-RS implementation and everything is pretty much the same. But Jersey is the reference implementation so its what seems to get the most active development.

Spring feels like such a major framework, you don't want to use it unless you're using Spring for everything. It isn't "just" a REST library, its a full on framework. Its good but its very much its own thing.

JAX-RS is great, until you need something that's not in the specification. Then you go full-Jersey on it. Then you need something that even Jersey cannot handle on its own. Then you go 3rd-party library on it.

Or you can go Spring from the beginning and don't worry about that poo poo. Spring can be as big or as small as you want it, but it usually integrates pretty well with a lot of libraries and with a lot of projects under the Spring umbrella. It is scary if you want to get/understand everything at once, is pretty mild if you take it slow, just chew the pieces you know you can swallow.

What's the best way to get into Spring? I've been reading a little bit about Spring Boot as a way to get everything wired up and running. Is this a good place to start?

Treat it a little like magic. Assume that it does anything you need it to do out of the box with minimal effort, you just need to find (google) the right magic words, such as SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory.

On the subject of Spring, what's the status and relation between JPA and Hibernate for persistence? The spring.io guide page is oddly devoid of Hibernate mentions. Does JPA supplant Hibernate?

Sedro posted:

JPA is a specification (JSR). Hibernate is the most widely used implementation of the spec. Spring is an unrelated project.

Theoretically you could replace Hibernate with another JPA implementation and your project would continue to function without any code change. In practice you probably can't.
