RESTful Java Client With Apache HttpClient using POST


If you are using maven you can get httpclient from:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
 <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
 <version>4.1.1</version>
 </dependency>

So this is my implementation of an RESTful java web service using POST.
I decided I should make this because I see a lot of tutorials on how to make a GET restfull service but I didn't find one with POST, or what I have found did not really work for me.

NFSWorld: Resume work

Hi everyone, long time since my last post. Well like I said I will be trying to update the app as soon as I get my hands on the new API from nfstimes.com and well, I didn't get my hands on the api but I did find a workaround so as soon as I have some free time I will be working on the app.

Now I can't really say a date when or even if the app will be updated but hopefully it won't take to much.

NFSWorld: Some changes

Ok so in the past weeks I have been trying to make this app in my free time, the only problem is that I have very little free time, so that is probably why it is taking so much. Hopefully next week I will update the app you see in the market, technically if all goes wright you should see it Monday morning.
Ok so I thought that until Monday I should let you guys know what I have been working on.

NFSWorld: Small UI change, display all cars and events added

So this is a late update to the app. I was away from some time and didn't have the time to make this one.

I have made some small changes in the UI and the way people will interact with the application.
One of the biggest changes is the side menu.
Picture:


There are 2 side menus. The one that you see in this picture and a new one that you will see once you click on a driver.

NFSWorld: Added Server status and News!

Hey guys, just made some changes to the application and I would like to talk a little bit about what have changed.

Now of you are new to the blog/application may by you should read this so you can get a general idea of what I am trying to make and what I would like to achive with this applications.

And now for the changes.
-Fixed a small bug where Chicane players could add their profile but could not see it's details.(Thnx IIZEUSI for spotting the bug).
-Fixed a bug that would crash the application if you would try to insert/display a profile and you would not be connected to the internet.
-Implemented the "Servers Status" tab that you guys could see from the latest build.
-Implemented the "News", with possibility of reading them in german, if your phone is set for that language

I know it doesn't sound much of an update but keep in mind this is my first android project ever and everything I do I have to study first, learn how it is done and then implement that for my project, and EA's api is very... well not bad, but I think it could have been done a better job.

Also, since this app is not yet on the market please share this blog to any website/forum you think people might like this app.
Here are some pictures:

NFSWorld: Some changes were made.. again

Hey guys. I am writing again to let you know that the app was just updated to version 1.02 :) Now there are some changes to the app that were requested by the users and also I have implemented some revenue in the app..witch is the adds :( . Before you guys judge this decision please keep in mind that all I want to do with this money is to put the app on the Google Play, and after that those things WILL be removed. The adds are put in such a way that it will not be annoing to the users, but I do sugest you visit the adds tab so that we can put this app on the google play store and receive automatic updates and all that good stuff ok?

Now to the app itself.
Changes that were made:
-Users can now add any driver as it was requested a lot(before only default persona could be added)
-Users can now chose what server is their driver on
-Tabs -this is more of what is going to come to the app. Nothing really implemented in those tabs
-Ads - we don't like them I know, I sure hope we get rid of those as quickly as possible.

Please note that every time you click the driver tab the driver profiles will be allways updated. I know it is not necessary but it kind of is like a small bug witch I will have to fix in the next version of the app.

Hope you will enjoy this update and don't forget to use the ADS! so we can get rid of them as soon as possible(or donate if you have a extra buck).

As all ways for any feature updates that you guys might want you can allways make a post on siglul4rity I am all ways active there.
Also in the comming days you will be able to check this blog by visiting the link nfsworldstats.singul4rity.com (should be up in like a day or so). The guys at singularity were kind enough to make me a subdomain so that we don't confuse the users with to many blogs and forums and stuff like that.
