How to call HTTP API from Flutter?-CodePudding

I need to implement one way SMS from clickatell.com into my Flutter application, and they have the HTTP API. Before implementation, I wanted to test the API from flutter, and don't know how to create HTTP request. When I try the HTTP API from my browser, it works, but from Flutter not. The HTTP looks like this: "https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=FeKBZwZ3T2q3BNcjsJvHCA==&to=12345678&content=Test message text"

I was trying to create post using the HTTP in flutter, and to encode JSON, because I found in the documentation that it is JSON, but it do not works. Also, I've added the internet permission in android manifest file, and it looks like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.darkomilosevic.sms_test">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <application
        android:label="SMS test"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:launchMode="singleTop"
            android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
            android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <!-- Specifies an Android theme to apply to this Activity as soon as
                 the Android process has started. This theme is visible to the user
                 while the Flutter UI initializes. After that, this theme continues
                 to determine the Window background behind the Flutter UI. -->
            <meta-data
              android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
              android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
              />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />
    </application>
</manifest>

My dart code looks like this:

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'SMS test',
      theme: ThemeData(
        // This is the theme of your application.
        //
        // Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
        // application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
        // changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
        // "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
        // or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
        // Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
        // is not restarted.
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Send SMS'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;
  // This widget is the home page of your application. It is stateful, meaning
  // that it has a State object (defined below) that contains fields that affect
  // how it looks.

  // This class is the configuration for the state. It holds the values (in this
  // case the title) provided by the parent (in this case the App widget) and
  // used by the build method of the State. Fields in a Widget subclass are
  // always marked "final".

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  final String phoneNumber = "12345678";

    // by the _incrementCounter method above.
    //

    // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
    // than having to individually change instances of widgets.
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(

CodePudding user response：

just try GET request. I think your API does not support POST request. I also check the POST request but it is giving a 405 error.

void _onPressed() async {
try {
  final response = await http.get(
    Uri.parse(
        'https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=FeKBZwZ3T2q3BNcjsJvHCA==&to=12345678&content=Test message text'),
  );
  final responseData = jsonDecode(response.body);
  log(responseData.toString());
} catch (e) {
  log(e.toString());
}}
