Avoid getting your apps blocked by Google May 17th

This is for securely posting with ssl using httpsurlconnection instead of the apache libraries. I was running into problems using apache libraries posting to my server. This is the new way anyway. Many will have this warning in this post: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=BF50F4B61C83A1EE3A12B77 or simply cant connect because the client (your android device) cant recognize certificate with host, etc. I found a fix. I found it from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23798402/how-to-send-post-data-to-https-server-via-httpsurlconnection https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b9mzu537qcaq4w/androidPostSnippet.txt?dl=0

How does this work for us, Chris? Do we use it 'in place' ? Do we augment existing code, replace existing code? I'm not sure 'where' I should put this... does it go in 'one' plugin, or all that use https? I see the fix... just not sure 'how' to implement it. Cheers! -- Smug PS: before all my moaning drowns out my thanks, thank you!!

Sorry I just saw your post Smug. Im writing this fix now. Theres three different places in the new android studio package of buzztouch . But only the part that posts to the server for push notifications is in use so you can really just comment out the other two. The other two places that will need to be updated for use is in BT_downloader.java and BT_imageLoader.java. The last two methods in both of the methods. These are the two methods that arent in use. In ServerAsyncTask in BT_gcmServerUtils.java is where it needs to be changed. NameValuePair is deprecated but you can just put the parameters in a string like I did in the dropbox code. Im going to check if I can use some other object similar to nameValuePair.

Ok did a quick 'google' and found we can use another class instead. Looks pretty similar. Will make the code cleaner too. Ill post my full solution soon though. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29378012/namevaluepair-deprecated-for-openconnection
