android - Wrong Content type Error when Posting to Parse.com RestAPI -

good day, been struggling bit , not sure anymore. using android asynchronus http library here send post parse keep getting error message.

 {"code":107,"error":"this endpoint supports content-type: application/json requests, not application/x-www-form-urlencoded."} 

here relevant parts of code:

           client = new asynchttpclient();           client.addheader("content-type", "application/json");         client.addheader("x-parse-application-id", context.getresources().getstring(r.string.app_id));         client.addheader("x-parse-rest-api-key", context.getresources().getstring(r.string.rest_api_key));       requestparams params = null;     jsonobject json = new jsonobject();             try {                     json.put(name, player_text.gettext().tostring());                     json.put(club, club_text.gettext().tostring());                 } catch (jsonexception e) {                     e.printstacktrace();                 }     params = new requestparams("json",json); //takes key value pair     client.post(context, url, params, responsehandler); // posting https://api.parse.com/1/classes/abcder/ 

i have set header content-type application/json don't know why getting error. have requested getcontenttype params see , gives me error parse complaining about. doing wrong? highly appreciated. in advance

the json needs posted data/body, not encoded in url parameters.

here's answer shows how: posting json/xml using android-async-http (loopj)

so you:

jsonobject json = new jsonobject();  try {     json.put(name, player_text.gettext().tostring());     json.put(club, club_text.gettext().tostring()); } catch (jsonexception e) {     e.printstacktrace(); }  stringentity body = new stringentity(json.tostring());  client.post(context, url, body, "application/json", responsehandler);
