Android webdav Java Sardine

Question

im trying Sardine to make a webdav client in android, im trying this code:

This works perfect on JAVA aplicacion, but crashes in android :(

    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    SardineImpl sardine = new SardineImpl((AbstractHttpClient) client,"testuser","test");
    List<DavResource> resources = sardine.getResources("http://demo.sabredav.org/");
    for (int i = 1; i < resources.size(); i++) {  

          System.out.println(resources.get(i));  
}

Replacing System.out.println by Toast i get this

Answer 1

I had the same trouble trying to use Sardine and including Apache HttpClient which would conflict with the version embedded in Android. So I decided to replace it with OkHttp and I have much less trouble. Here is the fork I created: https://github.com/thegrizzlylabs/sardine-android

Answer 2

Did you see this q: Using webdav on Android ? It essentially says that Sardine needs newer HttpClient version than packages with Android, and provides a lick to patched HttpClient 4.1 linkable into Android apps.

Answer 3

For you only iterating through the elements on the server this code worked for me:

 try{

            Sardine sardine = SardineFactory.begin("username", "password");

            List<DavResource> resources = sardine.list("webdav/server/directory/");
            buffer = new StringBuilder();
            for (DavResource res : resources)
            {
                //for example
                buffer.append(res.toString());
            }
        }catch(Exception e){
                Log.e("VIEWER" , e.getMessage());
        }

I used the Sardine-Android Project Library in combination with the simpleframework.xml.
