Android OData url encoding

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to use $filter option like this:

GET http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/Products?$filter=Name eq 'Milk'

200 OK

{

    "odata.metadata": "http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/$metadata#Products",

    "value": [

        {

            "ID": 1,

            "Name": "Milk",

            "Description": "Low fat milk",

            "ReleaseDate": "1995-10-01T00:00:00",

            "DiscontinuedDate": null,

            "Rating": 3,

            "Price": 3.5

        }

    ]

}

Same from sdk:

String path = URLEncoder.encode("Products?$filter=Name eq 'Milk'", "UTF-8");

ODataResponseSingle response = store.executeReadEntitySet(path, null);

Hi,

I am a bit confused. That would mean that I would have to use some lower layer APIs and loose the actual benefit of using OData sdk. Using com.sap.mobile.lib.request.RequestManager is pretty much equal to HttpURLConnection. I guess I would loose offline feature too using RequestManager.

Did I understood right, that API com.sap.smp.client.odata.online.OnlineODataStore is so restricted that I cannot basic OData features, like $filter?
