elasticsearch - How to search via Json in elastic search using spring resttemplate in android

Question

Hi i am trying to search data in elastic search using spring RestTemplate. ElasticSearch have user name and password and i want to search via json.

I wrote code for this but i am not getting any result or exception. I am doing this for the first time in my life so sorry if there is some silly mistake in it.

@Override
    protected List<JobPosts> doInBackground(Object[] objects) {
        List list = null;

        try {

            SearchForm searchForms = (SearchForm) objects[0];




            String plainCreds = "******:********";

            final String url = "*******";
            RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
            restTemplate.getMessageConverters().add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());

            HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<>(searchJson, headers);
            Log.d("location", "before exchange");
            ResponseEntity<JobPosts[]> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request, JobPosts[].class);
            JobPosts[] jobPosts = response.getBody();

            Log.d("location", "after exchange");
            list = Arrays.asList(jobPosts);


        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("location", e.getMessage());
        }

Unlike other Relational Databases, you don't need Spring RestTemplate to query the elastic database. ElasticSearch comes with inbuilt Java API library. You directly use those functions to create your query and get the results.

Checkout this Link. It has the documentation about how to use the API.
