After an HTTP GET request, the resulting string is disabled - content has been consumed

Question

I am making an http request as follows:

try { HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); String getURL = "http://busspur02.aseag.de/bs.exe?SID=5FC39&ScreenX=1440&ScreenY=900&CMD=CR&Karten=true&DatumT="+day+"&DatumM="+month+"&DatumJ="+year+"&ZeitH="+hour+"&ZeitM="+min+"&Intervall=60&Suchen=(S)uchen&GT0=Aachen&T0=H&HT0="+start_from+"&GT1=Aachen&T0=H&HT1="+destination+""; HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL); HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get); HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity(); if (resEntityGet != null) { //do something with the response Log.i("GET RESPONSE",EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet)); } ... } catch (...) { ... } 

Everything works well ... the only problem: Log.i logout is disabled ... This is not a complete html page. If I make the same request in the browser, I get 3x output as opposed to making the request in the emulator and using the above code .... what is wrong?

Answer 1

OK, I solved it.
As I understand it, the contents of an object are consumed if it is not in use. So I created a new String object with Entity content, so to speak, instead of referencing entity content.

 try { HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); String getURL = "http://busspur02.aseag.de/bs.exe?SID=5FC39&ScreenX=1440&ScreenY=900&CMD=CR&DatumT="+day+"&DatumM="+month+"&DatumJ="+year+"&ZeitH="+hour+"&ZeitM="+min+"&Intervall=120&Suchen=(S)uchen&GT0=Aachen&T0=H&HT0="+start_from+"&GT1=Aachen&T0=H&HT1="+destination+""; HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL); HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get); HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity(); String sourceString = ""; if (resEntityGet != null) { try { dismissDialog(); sourceString= new String(EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet)); Log.i("GET RESPONSE", sourceString); } catch (ParseException exc) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block exc.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalStateException exc) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block exc.printStackTrace(); } ... } ... } catch(...) { ... }

DixieFlatline is true.

With this, I get partial output:

 Log.v(TAG, "RESPONSE: " + response); 

With this, I get the full output:

 for(String line : response.split("\n")) Log.v(TAG, "LINE: " + line); 

Answer 3

I think Log limits the number of characters to 4070. I tried to display a long string in ddms locgat and I only had 4070 characters.

Answer 4

Excellent!

By the way, if you are using Eclipse with a Debug perspective, in the Variables view:

(Window → Show View → Variables)

you can right-click on the window, select "Maximum Length" and insert "0" .

This way you can see all the characters (full html) in the Variables view.
