    I have created a restful web service using this tutorial http://www.tutecentral.com/restful-api-for-android-part-1/ after running this i got an auto generated java file which contains the following code

    public class RestAPI {
    
      private final String urlString = "http://10.0.2.2:58893/Handler1.ashx"; 
      private static String convertStreamToUTF8String(InputStream stream) throws IOException {
        String result = "";
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        try {
            InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream, "UTF-8");
            char[] buffer = new char[4096];
            int readedChars = 0;
            while (readedChars != -1) {
                readedChars = reader.read(buffer);
                if (readedChars > 0)
                   sb.append(buffer, 0, readedChars);
            }
            result = sb.toString();
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }//
        return result;
    }
    private String load(String contents) throws IOException {
        URL url = new URL(urlString);
        Log.e("load r1","load r1");
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setConnectTimeout(60000);
        Log.e("load r2","load r2");
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        Log.e("load r3","load r3");
        OutputStreamWriter w = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
        w.write(contents);
        w.flush();
        Log.e("load r4","load r4");
        InputStream istream = conn.getInputStream();
        Log.e("load r5","load r5");
        String result = convertStreamToUTF8String(istream);
        return result;
    }
    
    private Object mapObject(Object o) {
        Object finalValue = null;
        if (o.getClass() == String.class) {
            finalValue = o;
        }
        else if (Number.class.isInstance(o)) {
            finalValue = String.valueOf(o);
        } else if (Date.class.isInstance(o)) {
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss", new Locale("en", "USA"));
            finalValue = sdf.format((Date)o);
        }
        else if (Collection.class.isInstance(o)) {
            Collection<?> col = (Collection<?>) o;
            JSONArray jarray = new JSONArray();
            for (Object item : col) {
                jarray.put(mapObject(item));
            }
            finalValue = jarray;
        } else {
            Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
            Method[] methods = o.getClass().getMethods();
            for (Method method : methods) {
                if (method.getDeclaringClass() == o.getClass()
                        && method.getModifiers() == Modifier.PUBLIC
                        && method.getName().startsWith("get")) {
                    String key = method.getName().substring(3);
                    try {
                        Object obj = method.invoke(o, null);
                        Object value = mapObject(obj);
                        map.put(key, value);
                        finalValue = new JSONObject(map);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
    
        }
        return finalValue;
    }
    
    public JSONObject GetDoctors(String Terr&#95;Code) throws Exception {
        JSONObject result = null;
        JSONObject o = new JSONObject();
        JSONObject p = new JSONObject();
        o.put("interface","RestAPI");
        o.put("method", "GetDoctors");
        p.put("Terr&#95;Code",mapObject(Terr&#95;Code));
        o.put("parameters", p);
        String s = o.toString();
        String r = load(s);
        result = new JSONObject(r);
        return result;
    }
    
    public JSONObject GetUserDetail(String IMEINO) throws Exception {
        JSONObject result = null;
        JSONObject o = new JSONObject();
        JSONObject p = new JSONObject();
        o.put("interface","RestAPI");
        o.put("method", "GetUserDetail");
        p.put("IMEINO",mapObject(IMEINO));
        o.put("parameters", p);
        String s = o.toString();
        String r = load(s);
        result = new JSONObject(r);
        return result;
    }
    
    
    public JSONObject GetProductsForOrders(String ff&#95;code) throws Exception {
        JSONObject result = null;
        JSONObject o = new JSONObject();
        JSONObject p = new JSONObject();
        o.put("interface","RestAPI");
        o.put("method", "GetProductsForOrders");
        p.put("ff&#95;code",mapObject(ff&#95;code));
        o.put("parameters", p);
        String s = o.toString();
        String r = load(s);
        result = new JSONObject(r);
        return result;
    }
    

    }

    I want to access the these method using volley as async task is very slow, but i don't understand how to call methods in volley code. I've tried in the below code but i get the error of "bad url null"

           public void requestJSON() {
              // Tag used to cancel the request
              String tag&#95;json&#95;obj = "json&#95;obj&#95;req";
    
              final ProgressDialog pDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
              pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
              pDialog.show();
              JsonObjectRequest jsonObjReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.GET, null,
                    null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
    
                       @Override
                       public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
    
                            RestAPI restAPI = new RestAPI();
                            try {
                                  response = restAPI.GetDoctors(terrcode);                           
                            } 
    
                            catch (Exception e) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e.printStackTrace();
                            }
    
                     display.setText(response.toString());
                           Log.e("json data",response.toString());
                          pDialog.hide();
                       }
    
    
    
                  }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
    
                       @Override
                       public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                          display.setText(error.toString());
                          pDialog.hide();
                       }
                    });
    
              // Adding request to request queue
              VolleySingleton.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonObjReq,
                    tag&#95;json&#95;obj);
           }

  • Seems you are passing null for url to the jsonrequest method of volley.

    You may can use this method for making JSONObject request

    public void requestJSON(final RequestCallback callback) {
    
            JsonObjectRequest jsonObjReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET,
                    url, null,
                    new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
    
                        @Override
                        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                            Log.d(TAG, response.toString());
    
                            /**
                             * todo add your code which will be exicuted on resoponse
                             * or you can send as it is json to the method that called it
                             * like
                             * callback.responseReceived(response);
                             */
    
                        }
                    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
    
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
                    // hide the progress dialog
                    /**
                     * todo send call back some error message to show that an error occured while making request.
                     * like
                     *callback.responseReceived(null);
                     */
    
    
                }
            });
    
            // add this request to the volley queue to be executed.
    
            AppInitializer.getContext().getVolleyRequestQueu().add(jsonObjReq);
        }
