How to send a POST request using volley with string body

Question

I m developing an Android app that communicate with a RESTful web service I wrote  Using Volley for GET methods is awesome and easy  but I can t put my finger on the POST methods   I want to send a POST request with a String in the body of the request  and retrieve the raw response of the web service  like 200 ok  500 server error    All I could find is the StringRequest which doesn t allow to send with data  body   and also it bounds me to receive a parsed String response  I also came across JsonObjectRequest which accepts data  body  but retrieve a parsed JSONObject response   I decided to write my own implementation  but I cannot find a way to receive the raw response from the web service  How can I do it

You can refer to the following code  of course you can customize to get more details of the network response    try       RequestQueue requestQueue   Volley newRequestQueue this       String URL    http             JSONObject jsonBody   new JSONObject        jsonBody put  Title    Android Volley Demo        jsonBody put  Author    BNK        final String requestBody   jsonBody toString         StringRequest stringRequest   new StringRequest Request Method POST  URL  new Response Listener lt String gt               Override         public void onResponse String response                Log i  VOLLEY   response                    new Response ErrorListener              Override         public void onErrorResponse VolleyError error                Log e  VOLLEY   error toString                                 Override         public String getBodyContentType                 return  application json  charset utf-8                       Override         public byte   getBody   throws AuthFailureError               try                   return requestBody    null   null   requestBody getBytes  utf-8                  catch  UnsupportedEncodingException uee                    VolleyLog wtf  Unsupported Encoding while trying to get the bytes of  s using  s   requestBody   utf-8                    return null                                    Override         protected Response lt String gt  parseNetworkResponse NetworkResponse response                String responseString                   if  response    null                    responseString   String valueOf response statusCode                      can get more details such as response headers                           return Response success responseString  HttpHeaderParser parseCacheHeaders response                          requestQueue add stringRequest     catch  JSONException e        e printStackTrace

I liked this one  but it is sending JSON not string as requested in the question  reposting the code here  in case the original github got removed or changed  and this one found to be useful by someone   public static void postNewComment Context context final UserAccount userAccount final String comment final int blogId final int postId       mPostCommentResponse requestStarted        RequestQueue queue   Volley newRequestQueue context       StringRequest sr   new StringRequest Request Method POST  http   api someservice com post comment   new Response Listener lt String gt               Override         public void onResponse String response                mPostCommentResponse requestCompleted                     new Response ErrorListener              Override         public void onErrorResponse VolleyError error                mPostCommentResponse requestEndedWithError error                              Override         protected Map lt String String gt  getParams                Map lt String String gt  params   new HashMap lt String  String gt                 params put  user  userAccount getUsername                 params put  pass  userAccount getPassword                 params put  comment   Uri encode comment                params put  comment post ID  String valueOf postId                params put  blogId  String valueOf blogId                 return params                      Override         public Map lt String  String gt  getHeaders   throws AuthFailureError               Map lt String String gt  params   new HashMap lt String  String gt                 params put  Content-Type   application x-www-form-urlencoded                return params                       queue add sr      public interface PostCommentResponseListener       public void requestStarted        public void requestCompleted        public void requestEndedWithError VolleyError error
