In Step 3 there was a sample of transforming a SOAP Web Service into a WCF RESTful one
with "application/xml" Content-Type ;
In step 7 - there are all the details about the full source code
To be accessed from a Android Client the sample must switch from XML to JSON data-content ;
Let's consider that the webservice is installed on the IP : 192.168.61.3 :
http://192.168.61.3/RestServicePost/RestServiceImpl.svc/json/getallpersons
The code behind the above link :
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
UriTemplate = "json/getallpersons")]
PersonData[] getJsonPersons();
public PersonData[] getJsonPersons()
{
return getAllPersons();
}
public PersonData[] getAllPersons()
{
SqlConnection dbConn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
dbConn.Open();
string sqlSelect = "select * from users ";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlSelect, dbConn);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlCommand dbCommand = new SqlCommand(sqlSelect, dbConn);
da.Fill(dt);
dbConn.Close();
List
list = new List();
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
// Person target = Activator.CreateInstance();
PersonData target = new PersonData();
target.Name = row["Name"].ToString();
target.User = row["UserName"].ToString();
target.Email = row["EMail"].ToString();
target.Password = row["Password"].ToString();
// DataColumnAttribute.Bind(row,target);
list.Add(target);
}
return list.ToArray();
}
Pictures about what the code does ;
FIDDLER gets from the webservice all the persons from the database in JSON format :
