You can also send data by overriding  getBody   method of JsonObjectRequest class  As shown below        Override     public byte   getBody                  JSONObject jsonObject   new JSONObject            String body   null          try                       jsonObject put  username    user123                jsonObject put  password    Pass123                 body   jsonObject toString              catch  JSONException e                           TODO Auto-generated catch block             e printStackTrace                       try                       return body toString   getBytes  utf-8              catch  UnsupportedEncodingException e                           TODO Auto-generated catch block             e printStackTrace                      return null

I know that this thread is quite old  but I had this problem and I came up with a cool solution which can be very useful to many because it corrects extended the Volley library on many aspects   I spotted some not supported-out-of-box Volley features    This JSONObjectRequest is not perfect  you have to expect a JSON at the end  see the Response Listener lt JSONObject gt    What about Empty Responses  just with a 200 status   What do I do if I want directly my POJO from the ResponseListener    I more or less compiled a lot of solutions in a big generic class in order to have a solution for all the problem I quoted             Created by laurentmeyer on 25 07 15        public class GenericRequest lt T gt  extends JsonRequest lt T gt          private final Gson gson   new Gson         private final Class lt T gt  clazz       private final Map lt String  String gt  headers          Used for request which do not return anything from the server      private boolean muteRequest   false                    Basically  this is the constructor which is called by the others          It allows you to send an object of type A to the server and expect a JSON representing a object of type B          The problem with the  JsonObjectRequest is that you expect a JSON at the end          We can do better than that  we can directly receive our POJO          That s what this class does
