I am parsing data from an URL. And I am using the code below to get cleartext data in logcat. But, although there are no issues it is showing nothing but null.
class RetrieveFeedTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
int responseCode = -1;
//String responseData;
try {
URL retailerUrl = new URL("http://clients.appatlantis.com/soldy/wp-json/wp/v2/soldy-clients");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) retailerUrl.openConnection();
connection.connect();
responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
int contentLength = connection.getContentLength();
char[] charArray = new char[contentLength];
reader.read(charArray);
String responseData = new String(charArray);
data = responseData;
Log.v(TAG, "Parse Data "+data);
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Parse Data Failed");
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "URL Exeption: ", e);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "IO URL Exeption: ", e);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exeption Caught: ", e);
}
return "Response Code "+data;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
super.onPostExecute(s);
Log.v(TAG, "Parse Data "+data);
}
}
Here is the complete backtrace. Notice that the error is thrown as NegetiveArraySizeException
, because, there is no result.

This is happening because connection.getContentLength()
is returning -1. This happens because content length is not known. Or more specifically, the server is not setting a "Content-Length" header in the response message.
What you can instead do is
InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
Scanner s = new Scanner(inputStream).useDelimiter("\\A");
data = s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
Log.v(TAG, "Parse Data " + data);
This will work.
