Android HTTP GET parameters

Question

I'm using the apache http library and need to know how to add a parameter to an HTTP GET request. I've looked over How to add parameters to a HTTP GET request in Android? but the accepted answer for that adds parameters to an HTTP POST. This is my code so far but it is not working.

HttpGet get = new HttpGet("https://server.com/stuff");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("count", "5"));
HttpParams p = get.getParams();
p.setParameter("length", "5");
get.setParams(p);

Answer 1

String url = "https://server.com/stuff"
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("count", "5"));
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramsString = URLEncodedUtils.format(nameValuePairs, "UTF-8");
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url + "?" + paramsString);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);

EDIT: Since Android SDK v22, the type NameValuePair is deprecated. I recommend using Volley, an HTTP library that makes networking for Android apps easier and most importantly, faster.
