How to send Body Data to GET Method Request Android

Question

like this, I want to send JSON body request to GET API.

Tried this but it did not work:

 public static void getQuestionsListApi2(final String requestId, final String timestamp,
                                        final ImageProcessingCallback.downloadQuestionsCallbacks callback,
                                        final Context context) {

    try {
       String url = NetUrls.downloadQuestions;

        final JSONObject jsonBody = new JSONObject();
        jsonBody.put("requestId", requestId);
        jsonBody.put("timestamp", timestamp);
        final String mRequestBody = jsonBody.toString();
        Log.i("params", String.valueOf(jsonBody));
        Log.i("URL", url);
        JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, **jsonBody**, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(JSONObject jsonObject) {
                Log.v("TAG", "Success " + jsonObject);
                callback.downloadQuestionsCallbacksSuccess(jsonObject.toString());
            }

        }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError volleyError) {
                Log.v("TAG", "ERROR " + volleyError.toString());
            }


        });

        request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS * 0,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));

        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        queue.add(request);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}


        request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS * 0,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
                DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));


        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        queue.add(request);

Here is the code that I am using when sending JSONRequest. with GET method I am getting 400 error response from server and server does not accept the the data in the URL form. I am sending The jsonBody object as parameter. Any solution?

@android-team, any example in retrofit how can we send json body to get method in android? — Kumar Jadhav, May 08 '18 at 09:27

If you want to pass Json data in body of GET request, you have to use Query annotation

Call<YourNodelClass> getSomeDetails(@Query("threaded") String threaded, @Query("limit") int limit);

this will pass as Json object {"threaded": "val", "limit": 3}.

i have tried and this one is only working code.

Well, I think this isn't the correct solution because the server will get the data in `query` not in `body`. – c-an Mar 11 '20 at 08:55

You can use retrofit to send request with body. http://square.github.io/retrofit/

It is easy to use library, example:

@GET("[url node]")
Single<Response<ResponseBody>> doSmt(@Header("Authorization") String token, @Body ListRequest name);

Also, take a look here about get methods with body HTTP GET with request body

UPDATE

GET method with request body is optional here. However, this RFC7231 document says,

sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.

which means this isn't recommended. Use POST method to use request body.

Check this table from wikipedia.

I am using Volley Library for now so there is any method in volley to achieve this. – Kumar Jadhav May 08 '18 at 09:31

This is not the solution. GET annotation can't use with Body annotation in retrofit. – c-an Mar 11 '20 at 08:19
