AndroidNetworking
AndroidNetworking is an HTTP networking library for Android that handles the full lifecycle of network communication, from sending requests to parsing responses and caching data. It provides a unified interface for executing GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, and PATCH requests, with support for both synchronous and asynchronous execution, and includes built-in JSON response parsing that converts server responses directly into Java objects or lists.
The library distinguishes itself through a set of integrated capabilities that go beyond basic request execution. It manages file downloads and uploads with progress tracking and cancellation support, loads network images into views with placeholder and error handling, and monitors network quality to adapt content delivery based on current bandwidth conditions. Response caching respects HTTP cache-control headers for offline access and reduced data usage, while a logging interceptor and request analytics tracking provide visibility into bytes transferred, time taken, and cache status for each request.
For more advanced use, the library supports per-request customization of OkHttp clients and interceptors, tag-based cancellation of in-flight requests, and reactive composition through RxJava2 observables that allow merging, transforming, and combining network responses. Additional capabilities include GZIP compression, request prefetching, and off-main-thread response processing to optimize performance.
Features
- Android HTTP Networking Libraries - Provides an Android library for executing HTTP requests with JSON parsing, file uploads, and image loading.
- Image Loading - Fetches and displays images from a URL into an ImageView with placeholder and error drawables.
- Client-Side Response Caches - Respects HTTP cache-control headers to store responses locally for offline access and reduced data usage.
- JSON Response Parsers - Converts JSON response bodies directly into Java objects or lists using a built-in parser integrated into the request pipeline.
- Network Image Loaders - Load an image from a URL into an image view with default and error placeholder images.
- Android Image Loading - Fetches and displays images from URLs into ImageView components with placeholder and error handling.
- Multipart File Uploads - Upload a file with multipart form data and parameters while reporting upload progress.
- Unified File Transfer Managers - Handles file downloads, uploads, and multipart requests through a unified interface.
- HTTP Method Executions - Executes GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, and PATCH requests with path and query parameters, headers, and priority settings.
- Request Cancellations - Provides mechanisms to immediately terminate active network requests to free up system resources.
- Tag-Based Cancellations - Supports cancelling individual or all in-flight requests by tag with optional force cancellation.
- Progress-Tracking File Downloads - Downloads files from a server to a local directory with progress tracking and cancellation support.
- Unified File Transfer Managers - Provides a unified interface for downloading files from servers and uploading files via multipart form data.
- HTTP Method Executions - Executes GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD requests with path and query parameters, headers, and body data.
- OkHttp-Wrapped Pipelines - Wraps OkHttp's request/response cycle with a custom interceptor chain for lifecycle, cancellation, and analytics.
- Network Quality Assessments - Measures current bandwidth and connection quality to adapt content delivery, such as downloading high-quality images on fast connections.
- Request Behavior Customization - Customizes per-request settings like timeouts, custom HTTP clients, and thread executors.
- Per-Request OkHttp Clients - Applies a custom OkHttpClient instance per request for interceptors, timeouts, or other configuration.
- Synchronous Executions - Blocks the calling thread until a request completes and returns the response directly.
- Reactive HTTP Wrappers - Wraps each network call as an RxJava2 Observable so responses can be composed with operators like map and zip.
- Network Request Logging - Logs request and response details at configurable verbosity levels for debugging.
- Request Analytics Collectors - Captures time taken, bytes sent and received, and cache status for each request.
- Interceptor-Based Loggers - Prints request and response details to the console for debugging by inserting a logging interceptor into the OkHttp pipeline.
- Request Analytics Collectors - Tracks bytes sent, bytes received, and time taken for each request to identify slow or data-heavy operations.
- Bibliothèques réseau - Provides a comprehensive library for various network operations.
