Android GET Request API using Volley

This is a simple guide to making a GET request API using the Volley library in Android, using Java and XML.

Prerequisites

• Android Studio installed on your machine
• Basic knowledge of Android development

Installation

1. Open your project in Android Studio.

2. Add Volley to your project by adding the following dependency in your app-level build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.2.1'
   }

3 Sync your project to download the Volley library. Usage Step 1: Declare Internet Permission Add the following permission to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file: ` 4. Step 2: Make a GET Request Java code Create a new Java class, for example, MainActivity, and add the following code to make a GET request using Volley:

import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.android.volley.Request; import com.android.volley.RequestQueue; import com.android.volley.Response; import com.android.volley.VolleyError; import com.android.volley.toolbox.JsonObjectRequest; import com.android.volley.toolbox.Volley;

import org.json.JSONException; import org.json.JSONObject;

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
  private RequestQueue requestQueue;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

    // Replace the URL with your API endpoint
    String url = "https://api.example.com/data";

    JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,
            new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                    // Handle the API response
                    try {
                        // Parse the JSON response
                        String data = response.getString("data");
                        Log.d(TAG, "Response: " + data);
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            },
            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    // Handle error
                    Log.e(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
                }
            });

    // Add the request to the RequestQueue
    requestQueue.add(request);
}
 }

XML layout file In your XML layout file, for example activity_main.xml, add any necessary views or elements for your UI.

Step 3: Run the App Build and run your app on an Android device or emulator. The GET request will be made when the MainActivity is created, and the response will be logged in the console.

Conclusion In this guide, you learned how to make a GET request API using the Volley library in Android. You can further customize the request and handle the response based on your specific requirements.

For more information and advanced usage of Volley, please refer to the official Volley documentation: Volley Documentation Happy coding!

Please note that this is a basic example, and you may need to modify it according to your specific use case and API endpoint.
