How to call HTTPS webservices in android




For Example :

==> First call following method.

public static void trustAllHosts() {

        X509TrustManager easyTrustManager = new X509TrustManager() {

            public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
                    String authType) throws CertificateException {
                // Oh, I am easy!
            }

            public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
                    String authType) throws CertificateException {
                // Oh, I am easy!
            }

            public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }

        };

        // Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { easyTrustManager };

        // Install the all-trusting trust manager
        try {
            SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

            sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());

            HttpsURLConnection
                    .setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

====> After this


For calling HTTPS webservices you need to create Custom HttpClient instead of using DefaultHttpClient.


HttpClient _httpclient = Utils.getNewHttpClient();

Following is getNewHttpClient() method :



public static HttpClient getNewHttpClient() {
try {
KeyStore trustStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore
.getDefaultType());
trustStore.load(null, null);

SSLSocketFactory sf = new MySSLSocketFactory(trustStore);
sf.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);

HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params, HTTP.UTF_8);

SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
registry.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory
.getSocketFactory(), 80));
registry.register(new Scheme("https", sf, 443));

ClientConnectionManager ccm = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(
params, registry);

return new DefaultHttpClient(ccm, params);
} catch (Exception e) {
return new DefaultHttpClient();
}
}


Here we have use custom MySSLSocketFactory class, which is following.

Create new class MySSLSocketFactory.java copy following code and paste.







public class MySSLSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

public MySSLSocketFactory(KeyStore truststore)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, KeyManagementException,
KeyStoreException, UnrecoverableKeyException {
super(truststore);

TrustManager tm = new X509TrustManager() {
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
String authType) throws CertificateException {
}

public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
String authType) throws CertificateException {
}

public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
};

sslContext.init(null, new TrustManager[] { tm }, null);
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port,
boolean autoClose) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
return sslContext.getSocketFactory().createSocket(socket, host, port,
autoClose);
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
return sslContext.getSocketFactory().createSocket();
}
}

Now done :) You can parse your xml now.
