A convenience utility for interfacing with volley and submitting requests. Projectile is a simple to use request builder with a focus on easy configuration. Take a look below for some quick examples on how to get started.

Current version: 1.0.x

Getting started

public class SampleActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // boilerplate...

    Projectile.draw(this).aim("http://www.google.com")
            .fire(new ResponseListener<string>() {
                @Override
                public String responseParser(NetworkResponse networkResponse) {
                    String response;
                    try {
                        response = new String(networkResponse.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(networkResponse.headers));
                    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                        response = new String(networkResponse.data);
                    }
                    return response;
                }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    Log.d(Sample.class.getName(), response);
                }

                @Override
                public void onError(VolleyError error) {
                    Log.d(Sample.class.getName(), "Error");
                }
            });
}
}

It's configurable to choose any response type you like, you just have to handle parsing the network response you receive back. The library comes built in with three standard response types: * StringListener - returns a string * JsonElementListener - returns a

com.google.gson.JsonElement

com.volley.NetworkResponse

Thanks to the builder paradigm, you can also configure optional parameters for every request.

public class SampleConfigureActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // boilerplate...

    Projectile.draw(this).aim("http://www.myapiurl/users")
            .method(Method.POST)
            .addParam("user", "nick")
            .addParam("password", "mypassword")
            .timeout(5000)
            .priority(Priority.MEDIUM)
            .fire(new StringListener() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    Log.d(Sample.class.getName(), response);
                }

                @Override
                public void onError(VolleyError error) {
                    Log.d(Sample.class.getName(), "Error");
                }
            });
}
}
