c# - Posting to a Web API from a Xamarin Android applicaion -

hi building xamarin android app connects web api. want post complex object api , receive object again. works when post object , receive bool value, not receiving complex object. works when use in windows mobile app. method in portable library. here post method:

public static iresponseobject post<t, tout>(string url, t bindingmodel)         {             iresponseobject result;              using (var client = new httpclient())             {                 var response =                     client.postasjsonasync(string.format("{0}{1}", _base, url), bindingmodel).result;                  if (response.statuscode == httpstatuscode.ok || response.statuscode == httpstatuscode.created)                     result = response.content.readasasync<successresponseobject<tout>>().result;                 else                     result = response.content.readasasync<badrequestresponse>().result;                 ((responseobject)result).status = response.statuscode;                  return result;              }         }   

should doing different android? thanks

looks not using async / await. causing issue.

try extension method:

 public static async task<tout> postjsonasyncpost<t, tout>this httpclient client, string url, t param)         {             httpresponsemessage result = await client.postasjsonasync(url, param);              string content = await result.ensuresuccessful().content.readasstringasync();              return jsonconvert.deserializeobject<toutput>(content);         } 

then can do:

using (var httpclient = new httpclient ()) {                     var result = await httpclient.postjsonasyncpost<t,out>(url,myobject);                 }
