How to use OKHTTP to make a post request

Question

I read some examples which are posting jsons to the server   some one says       OkHttp is an implementation of the HttpUrlConnection interface   provided by Java  It provides an input stream for writing content and   doesn t know  or care  about what format that content is    Now I want to make a normal post to the URL with params of name and password   It means I need to do encode the name and value pair into stream by myself

As per the docs  OkHttp version 3 replaced FormEncodingBuilder with FormBody and FormBody Builder    so the old examples won t work anymore      Form and Multipart bodies are now modeled  We ve replaced the opaque   FormEncodingBuilder with the more powerful FormBody and   FormBody Builder combo        Similarly we ve upgraded MultipartBuilder into   MultipartBody  MultipartBody Part  and MultipartBody Builder    So if you re using OkHttp 3 x try the following example   OkHttpClient client   new OkHttpClient     RequestBody formBody   new FormBody Builder            add  message    Your message            build    Request request   new Request Builder            url  http   www foo bar index php            post formBody           build     try       Response response   client newCall request  execute            Do something with the response    catch  IOException e        e printStackTrace

If you want to post parameter in okhttp as body content which can be encrypted string with content-type as  quot application x-www-form-urlencoded quot  you can first use URLEncoder to encode the data and then use   final MediaType MEDIA TYPE MARKDOWN   MediaType parse  quot application x-www-form-urlencoded quot     okhttp3 Request request   new okhttp3 Request Builder        url urlOfServer       post RequestBody create MEDIA TYPE MARKDOWN  yourBodyDataToPostOnserver        build     you can add header according to your requirement

You need to encode it yourself by escaping strings with URLEncoder and joining them with     and   amp    Or you can use FormEncoder from Mimecraft which gives you a handy builder   FormEncoding fe   new FormEncoding Builder        add  name    Lorem Ipsum        add  occupation    Filler Text        build

The current accepted answer is out of date  Now if you want to create a post request and add parameters to it you should user MultipartBody Builder as Mime Craft now is deprecated   RequestBody requestBody   new MultipartBody Builder            setType MultipartBody FORM           addFormDataPart  somParam    someValue            build     Request request   new Request Builder            url BASE URL   route           post requestBody           build
