Just to update all, after some deliberations, I have decided to use Async Http Client instead to solve my earlier problem. The library allows a cleaner approach (to me) to manipulate HTTP responses especially in cases where JSON objects are returned in all scenarios/HTTP statuses.
protected void getLogin() {
EditText username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
params.put("username", username.getText().toString());
params.put("password", password.getText().toString());
RestClient.post(getHost() + "api/v1/auth/login", params,
new JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers,
JSONObject response) {
try {
//process JSONObject obj
Log.w("myapp","success status code..." + statusCode);
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers,
Throwable throwable, JSONObject errorResponse) {
Log.w("myapp", "failure status code..." + statusCode);
try {
//process JSONObject obj
Log.w("myapp", "error ..." + errorResponse.getString("message").toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
