I tried a lot but couldn’t figure out the way to CREATE DASHBOARDS using splunk SDK.
Here is the snapshot of the code I tried. Can someone please help me in code to create dashboards using splunk sdk.

            JobArgs jobargs = new JobArgs();
    jobargs.put("name", "TestAutomation1");
    jobargs.put("eai:data", "<dashboard><label>the_Automation_new_label</label></dashboard>");
    jobargs.put("eai:type", "views");
    jobargs.put("eai:userName", "admin");
    jobargs.put("isDashboard", true);
    jobargs.put("isVisible", true);
    jobargs.put("label", "the_Automation_new_label");
    jobargs.put("rootNode", "dashboard");

            HttpService httpService = new HttpService(splunk_host);
    ResponseMessage response = httpService.post("/servicesNS/admin/search/data/ui/views/_new",jobargs);

When i run this code, it always ends up as 401--unauthorized exception. I am establish connection prior to this code which executes perfectly. Am i doing it right? Can some one please help me to create dashboards/views using java sdk. Thank you!

I had great success with the following:

    Service service = getSplunkService();

    String dashboardName = "rest_dashboard";

    String dashboardXml = "<dashboard>\n" +
        "  <label>temp</label>\n" +
        "  <row>\n" +
        "    <panel>\n" +
        "      <chart>\n" +
        "        <search>\n" +
        "          <query>index=_internal\n" +
        "                  |  timechart count</query>\n" +
        "          <earliest>-1h@h</earliest>\n" +
        "          <latest>now</latest>\n" +
        "          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>\n" +
        "        </search>\n" +
        "      </chart>\n" +
        "    </panel>\n" +
        "  </row>\n" +
        "</dashboard>";

    JobArgs jobargs = new JobArgs();
    jobargs.put("name", dashboardName);
    jobargs.put("eai:type", "views");
    jobargs.put("eai:data", dashboardXml);
    String endpoint = String.format("/servicesNS/rest_user/app_name/data/ui/views/%s", dashboardName);
    service.post(endpoint, jobargs);

I myself found the query.
Use below query to create a dashboard.

Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);
System.out.println("Version "+service.version);
JobArgs jobargs = new JobArgs();
jobargs.put("name", "TestAutomation1");
jobargs.put("eai:data", "the_Automation_new_label");
jobargs.put("eai:type", "views");
service.post("/servicesNS/admin/search/data/ui/views/newSrini",jobargs);
