Use the code below, not tested and you may have to adjust it to suite your need. Leave a comment if there's an issue:
ConnectionRequest req = new ConnectionRequest() {
#Override
protected void handleException(Exception ex) {
//handle error
}
};
req.setUrl(YourURL);
req.setPost(true);
req.setHttpMethod("POST"); //Change to GET if necessary
req.setDuplicateSupported(true);
req.addArgument("argumentToSendThroughPostOrGet1", "value1");
req.addArgument("argumentToSendThroughPostOrGet2", "value2");
NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(req);
if (req.getResponseCode() == 200) {
Map<String, Object> out = new HashMap<>();
Display.getInstance().invokeAndBlock(() -> {
JSONParser p = new JSONParser();
try (InputStreamReader r = new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(req.getResponseData()))) {
out.putAll(p.parseJSON(r));
} catch (IOException ex) {
//handle error
}
});
if (!out.isEmpty()) {
List<Map<String, Object>> responses = (List<Map<String, Object>>) out.get("response");
for (Object response : responses) {
Map res = (Map) response;
System.out.println(res.get("key"));
}
} else {
//handle error
}
} else {
//handle error
}
TEST JSON RESPONSE:
{
"response": [
{
"key": "I was returned",
}
]
}
EDIT:
To pass data from TextField:
req.addArgument("argumentToSendThroughPostOrGet1", myTextField.getText());
Based on your comment, you can read those arguments in PHP as simple as below:
$var1 = $_POST["argumentToSendThroughPostOrGet1"];
$var1 = $_GET["argumentToSendThroughPostOrGet1"]; // if GET method is used in Codename One
//Or use $_REQUEST which supports both methods but not advisable to be used for production
...
And you can use those variables in your php code normally.
Example of Usage with MySql Query:
class Connection {
function connect() {
$mysqli = mysqli_init();
$mysqli->real_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "databaseName") or die('Could not connect to database!');
$mysqli->query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
return $mysqli;
}
function close() {
mysqli_close($this->connect);
}
}
$connection = new Connection();
$mysqli = $connection->connect();
$mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%$var1%' ORDER BY PrimaryKeyId ASC LIMIT 100");
