HTTP Basic Authentication

Demonstrates how to use HTTP Basic authentication. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    // To use HTTP Basic authentication:
    http.put_Login("myLogin");
    http.put_Password("myPassword");
    http.put_BasicAuth(true);

    // Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
    // (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)
    String jsonResponse = http.quickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/myLogin/myPassword");
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, http.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    Log.i(TAG, "Response status code: " + String.valueOf(http.get_LastStatus()));

    Log.i(TAG, jsonResponse);

    // Output:

    // Response status code: 200
    // {
    //   "authenticated": true, 
    //   "user": "myLogin"
    // }

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
