I am developing an app which uses barcode
to get the product information of items after scanning the barcode
.
I don't want the user to install ZXing barcode
app separately so I embedded the ZXing
code into my project. So I was able to obtain the barcode ID number
.
I want to get the product information like name, manufacturer, price etc using the bar code number using google search api for shopping.
Here is the code I have used
public class JSONExampleActivity extends Activity {
TextView httpStuff;
DefaultHttpClient client;
JSONObject json;
final static String URL = "https://www.googleapis.com/shopping/search";
String upc = "/v1/public/products?country=US&q=691464717759&restrictBy=gtin=691464717759";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
httpStuff = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvHttp);
client = new DefaultHttpClient();
new Read().execute("items");
}
public JSONObject products(String upc) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, JSONException {
StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(URL);
url.append(upc);
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url.toString());
HttpResponse r = client.execute(get);
int status = r.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (status == 200) {
HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();
String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);
JSONObject timeline = new JSONObject(data);
return timeline;
}
else {
Toast.makeText(JSONExampleActivity.this, "error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
return null;
}
}
public class Read extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
json = products(upc);
return json.getString(params[0]);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
httpStuff.setText(result);
}
}
But I am not getting any text in httpStuff.
This is the logcat:

Please help me find the reason why I am getting error.
Try adding on your API id to the url. https://developers.google.com/shopping-search/v1/getting_started#getting-started
I tried it and was able to get the information of Michael Kors MK5412 Chronograph Watches based of the url of your code.
https://www.googleapis.com/shopping/search/v1/public/products?country=US&q=691464717759&restrictBy=gtin=691464717759&key={your key here}
As a result, you have to fix your url builder to match ^.
Also make sure you put
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
in your manifest. Credit to this guy: http://androidforums.com/developer-101/100793-java-net-unknownhostexception.html.
Happy coding :)
