Synchronizing and sockets

[Curtis]

I've been struggling with this for a while now. I'm trying to perform get/post request with the Socket.connct  

public String sendPostRequest(final String istr, final String data) {

        

        response = null;

        final boolean[] flag = new boolean[]{false};

        Socket.connect(ipaddr, port, new SocketConnection() {

            @Override

            public void connectionError(int errorCode, String message) {

                 System.out.println("Error: "+ipaddr+" "+port);

            }

            @Override

            public void connectionEstablished(InputStream is, OutputStream os) {

                try {

                    if(isConnected()) {

                        os.write(("POST /"+istr+" HTTP/1.1\r\nContent-Length: "+data.length()+"\r\n\r\n"+data+"\r\n").getBytes());

                        byte[] b;

                        int numread;

                        StringBuilder lsb = new StringBuilder(100);

                        do

                        {

                           b = new byte[1024];

                           numread = is.read(b);

                           if( numread != -1 )

                           {

                               lsb.append(new String(b));

                           }

                        }

                        while( numread == 1024 );

                        response = lsb.toString();

                    }

                }catch(IOException e) {

                    System.out.println("Network Read/Write Exception:");

                }finally{

                    

                    synchronized (flag) {

                        flag.notify();

                    }

                    try{

                        is.close();

                    }catch(IOException e) {};

                }

            }

        });

        synchronized (flag) {

            try {

                flag.wait();

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {

            }

        }

        

        return response;

    }

This works with the simulator and I works on one android phone, but my other one hangs. Is there a way I can run the Socket on the same thread? Or is there a better way to run the synchronization?

On a side note before I was having and issue where it would hang on read instead of return -1 hence numread == 1024. Is that a bug?

I tried https://github.com/shannah/CN1Sockets but this would through an out of bounds exception or something internally so I was never able to get it to run.

I would appreciate any help on this. I have put in quite sometime messing around with it.

Thanks

On the desktop you can use a threadalizer like the NetBeans profile to debug threading issues. It gives some false positives but is generally good.

Which thread is invoking wait? If you are blocking the EDT then everything will freeze naturally.

Why are you trying to do something like this in the first place? HTTP/S is one of the things that are builtin to Codename One.
