How to Pass JSON Object through Url

Question

{"value":"CUSTOM","allow":"ALL_FRIENDS","deny":"100000415571929,1340463778"}

I need to send this to this data as a http request,I am getting Illegal character errors.

How to send these special characters?

i'm pretty sure that you don't wana send this data through Url ... — Selvin, Dec 12 '12 at 11:59
Yes, I used String result = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(deniedfriends); — user1891910, Dec 12 '12 at 13:11

You should be sending this as a post or put body, not in the URL. — Sam Shiles, Dec 12 '12 at 11:54

Try the URLEncoder class, it should work

String url = "http://example.com/query?q=" + URLEncoder.encode("{\"value\":\"CUSTOM\",\"allow\":\"ALL_FRIENDS\",\"deny\":\"100000415571929,1340463778\"}", "ISO-8859-1");

Hope I didn't miss any scape character :P

Try in this way :

HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postURL);

List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("value","CUSTOM"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("allow","ALL_FRIENDS"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("deny","100000415571929,1340463778"));

UrlEncodedFormEntity ent = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params,HTTP.UTF_8);
post.setEntity(ent);

Hope it helps you.

Thanks.
