Good morning all,

I am trying to use a REST API but I don't really know what to import in order that I can input the url.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Peter

REST is usually JSON, which is supported since 6.0 (beforehand with an external lib).
you download the json string, for example by using HttpConnection and IOUtils, and handle it using the JSON libs.

Are you delaing with HTTP GET or POST???

Try this GIT opensource library for all the JSON parsers if you using on the older versoins of Blackberry.

Hello mayureshq,

Thank you for your reply.  From what I understand I am supposed to make both the GET and POST.  Also I am trying to make this for BB versions 7.0 and above.  Does this change anything?

Hey Simon,

Thank you for your response. I am trying to follow the code and the code seems pretty straight forward but I don't see where I can edit the url where I am pushing my information to and where I am receiving it.

Hi pxlam15

Below is the code to send your Json object to server.

finalObject is a Json object.

hc = (HttpConnection) Connector
.open(URL);
hc.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);

hc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
os = hc.openOutputStream();
String data = "placeOrder=" + finalobject.toString();
os.write(data.getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();
