Android Server Data Fetch

I want to fetch some data from a server protected with an username and password . I know both the username and password . Since the server is live , the data is continuing changing

Solution 1:

You can try this for the post object. Pre-emptive authentication is done this way.

HttpPostpost=newHttpPost(url);

    // Prepare the authentication.StringusernameAuth="u";
    StringpasswordAuth="p";
    post.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + 
            Base64.encodeToString((usernameAuth + ":" + passwordAuth).getBytes("UTF-8"),
                android.util.Base64.NO_WRAP));

For running this at regular intervals :

mTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(newTimerTask() {
  @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
       // What you want to do goes here
     }
  }, 0, REFRESH_TIME);

I hope it helps.
