StringEntity/string to HttpEntity

I'm using the loopj library (https://github.com/loopj/android-async-http) and it's recently changed to be compatible with API 23.

When submitting a 'put' request I would pass the StringEntity into the put method like so:

client.put(CallApplication.getContext(),url, request.StringEntity, responseHandler);

My StringEntity is an object that's converted into Json by doing:

public static StringEntity getJsonFromObject(Object object) {

    String json = new Gson().toJson(object);
    StringEntity stringEntity = null;
    try {
        stringEntity = new StringEntity(json, HTTP.UTF_8);
        stringEntity.setContentType("text/json");
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return stringEntity;
}

Now I need to use HttpEntity instead and it's not clear how I can get it. How can I get my json string into the HttpEntity?

Solution

  • As it happens there is a

    cz.msebera.android.httpclient.entity.StringEntity

    available to use. Who knew!

    Cheers anyway
