Sample code that opens an HTTP connection (socket) to a a website api over TLS so using HTTPS It needs an api key, an api appid POST data is constructed for the request, uses http://www.edamam.com api

n.b. HTTP POST is more secure as you do not expose data in the URL as you do with HTTP GET The app retrieves the JSON response which is displayed as text in the UI, normally this would be parsed and used otherwise in the UI.

Uses

  • HttpURLConnection for POST
  • BufferedInputStream
  • ByteArrayOutputStream
