Passed contentType will be ignored because HttpEntity sets content type

I'm using loopj's AsyncHttpClient for Android so that I can interact with a restful web application which I have created. I have tested a POST request using Postman and it works fine.

However, in Android I'm struggling to do a post request however as the content-type is always set as text/html..

 RequestParams params = new RequestParams(); params.setUseJsonStreamer(true); params.put("email", "[email protected]"); StringEntity se = null; try { se = new StringEntity(params.toString()); se.setContentType("application/json"); } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); } Header headers[] = {}; if(getActivity() != null){ RestClient.postWithContentType(getActivity(), "contacts", se, "application/json", new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() { //onSuccess and onFailure methods ommitted });

It keeps failing, and I get this message in logcat: Passed contentType will be ignored because HttpEntity sets content type.

So, I attempted to change this,

 public static void postWithContentType(Context context,String url,StringEntity s,String contentType, AsyncHttpResponseHandler responseHandler){ s.setContentType("application/json"); client.post(context, getAbsoluteUrl(url), s, contentType, responseHandler); }

However I still get the same message, it's really frustrating, and I've been trying to figure it out for ages! If anyone has any idea about how to set the content type - it will be much appreciated,thanks!

I had same problem.  I cannot understand which affects it because it really works days ago. I just add header again manually and it works. Just add RestClient.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); above your RestClient.postWithContentType(...) code.

RequestParams requestParams = new RequestParams(); asyncHttpClient.addHeader("Accept", "text/json"); asyncHttpClient.addHeader("content-type", "application/json"); asyncHttpClient.post(context, getAbsoluteUrl(url), requestParams, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() { @Override public void onSuccess(int statusCode, String content) { super.onSuccess(content // Ur logic } @Override public void onFailure(Throwable error, String content) { super.onFailure(error, content); // Ur logic } });
