由于没有一个回答描述了一种使用OkHttp执行请求的方法，这是目前在Android和Java上非常流行的http客户端，我将提供一个简单的例子:

//get an instance of the client
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

//add parameters
HttpUrl.Builder urlBuilder = HttpUrl.parse("https://www.example.com").newBuilder();
urlBuilder.addQueryParameter("query", "stack-overflow");


String url = urlBuilder.build().toString();

//build the request
Request request = new Request.Builder().url(url).build();

//execute
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

这个库的明显优势是，它将我们从一些低级细节中抽象出来，提供了更友好和安全的方式与它们交互。语法也被简化，允许编写漂亮的代码。

有一根线:

private class LoadingThread extends Thread {
    Handler handler;

    LoadingThread(Handler h) {
        handler = h;
    }
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Message m = handler.obtainMessage();
        try {
            BufferedReader in = 
                new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
            String page = "";
            String inLine;

            while ((inLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                page += inLine;
            }

            in.close();
            Bundle b = new Bundle();
            b.putString("result", page);
            m.setData(b);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        handler.sendMessage(m);
    }
}

private String getToServer(String service) throws IOException {
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(service);
    ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
    return new DefaultHttpClient().execute(httpget, responseHandler);

}

最简单的方法是使用名为Volley的Android库

Volley offers the following benefits: Automatic scheduling of network requests. Multiple concurrent network connections. Transparent disk and memory response caching with standard HTTP cache coherence. Support for request prioritization. Cancellation request API. You can cancel a single request, or you can set blocks or scopes of requests to cancel. Ease of customization, for example, for retry and backoff. Strong ordering that makes it easy to correctly populate your UI with data fetched asynchronously from the network. Debugging and tracing tools.

你可以发送一个http/https请求，简单如下:

        // Instantiate the RequestQueue.
        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
        String url ="http://www.yourapi.com";
        JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(url, null,
            new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                    if (null != response) {
                         try {
                             //handle your response
                         } catch (JSONException e) {
                             e.printStackTrace();
                         }
                    }
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

            }
        });
        queue.add(request);

在这种情况下，你不必考虑“运行在后台”或“使用缓存”自己，因为所有这些都已经完成了Volley。

看看这个很棒的新库，它可以通过gradle获得:)

构建。Gradle:编译'com.apptakk.http_request:http-request:0.1.2'

用法:

new HttpRequestTask(
    new HttpRequest("http://httpbin.org/post", HttpRequest.POST, "{ \"some\": \"data\" }"),
    new HttpRequest.Handler() {
      @Override
      public void response(HttpResponse response) {
        if (response.code == 200) {
          Log.d(this.getClass().toString(), "Request successful!");
        } else {
          Log.e(this.getClass().toString(), "Request unsuccessful: " + response);
        }
      }
    }).execute();

更新

这是一个非常古老的答案。我绝对不会再推荐Apache的客户端了。你可以用任意一种:

改造 OkHttp 截击 HttpUrlConnection

原来的答案

首先，申请访问网络的权限，在您的清单中添加以下内容:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

那么最简单的方法是使用Apache http客户端与Android捆绑:

    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(URL));
    StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
    if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
        String responseString = out.toString();
        out.close();
        //..more logic
    } else{
        //Closes the connection.
        response.getEntity().getContent().close();
        throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
    }

如果你想让它在单独的线程上运行，我建议扩展AsyncTask:

class RequestTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... uri) {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response;
        String responseString = null;
        try {
            response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(uri[0]));
            StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
            if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
                ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
                responseString = out.toString();
                out.close();
            } else{
                //Closes the connection.
                response.getEntity().getContent().close();
                throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
            }
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            //TODO Handle problems..
        } catch (IOException e) {
            //TODO Handle problems..
        }
        return responseString;
    }
    
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        //Do anything with response..
    }
}

然后，你可以通过以下方式提出请求:

   new RequestTask().execute("http://stackoverflow.com");
