After HTTP GET request, the resulting string is cut-off - content has been consumed

Question

hi all,

I'm making a http get request like this:

try {
   HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
         String getURL = "http://busspur02.aseag.de/bs.exe?SID=5FC39&ScreenX=1440&ScreenY=900&CMD=CR&Karten=true&DatumT="+day+"&DatumM="+month+"&DatumJ="+year+"&ZeitH="+hour+"&ZeitM="+min+"&Intervall=60&Suchen=(S)uchen&GT0=Aachen&T0=H&HT0="+start_from+"&GT1=Aachen&T0=H&HT1="+destination+"";
         HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL);
         HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);  
         HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity();  
         if (resEntityGet != null) {  
          //do something with the response
             Log.i("GET RESPONSE",EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet));
             } 
........

It all works well... the only problem: the output from Log.i is cut-off... It's not the complete html page. If I make the same request in a browser, I get 3x the output in opposition to making the request in the emulator and using the above code.... what's wrong?

Answer 1

OK I solved it.
As I understand, the content of the entity gets consumed if it's not "used". So I created a new String object with the content of the entity, so to say a copy instead of a reference to the entity's content.

try {
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
            String getURL = "http://busspur02.aseag.de/bs.exe?SID=5FC39&ScreenX=1440&ScreenY=900&CMD=CR&DatumT="+day+"&DatumM="+month+"&DatumJ="+year+"&ZeitH="+hour+"&ZeitM="+min+"&Intervall=120&Suchen=(S)uchen&GT0=Aachen&T0=H&HT0="+start_from+"&GT1=Aachen&T0=H&HT1="+destination+"";
            HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL);
            HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);  
            HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity();  
            String sourceString="";
            if (resEntityGet != null) {                 
                try {
                    dismissDialog();
                    sourceString= new String(EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet));
                    Log.i("GET RESPONSE",EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet));
                } catch (ParseException exc) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    exc.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IllegalStateException exc) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    exc.printStackTrace();
                }

Answer 2

I think that Log limits the number of chars to 4070. I tried to display a long string in ddms locgat and i got only 4070 chars.

Answer 3

DixieFlatline is correct.

With this I get partial output:

Log.v(TAG, "RESPONSE: " + response);

With this I get full output:

for(String line : response.split("\n"))
   Log.v(TAG, "LINE: " + line);
