Android HttpPost: how to get the result

Try to use the EntityUtil on your response:

String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

    URL url;
    url = new URL("http://www.url.com/app.php");
    URLConnection connection;
    connection = url.openConnection();
    HttpURLConnection httppost = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
    httppost.setDoInput(true);
    httppost.setDoOutput(true);
    httppost.setRequestMethod("POST");
    httppost.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Tranz-Version-t1.914");
    httppost.setRequestProperty("Accept_Language", "en-US");
    httppost.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
            "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(httppost.getOutputStream());
    dos.write(b); // bytes[] b of post data

    String reply;
    InputStream in = httppost.getInputStream();
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    try {
        int chr;
        while ((chr = in.read()) != -1) {
            sb.append((char) chr);
        }
        reply = sb.toString();
    } finally {
        in.close();
    }

This code snippet works. I got it after along search , but from a J2ME code.


You can call execute method with a ResponseHandler. Here's an example:

ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String response = httpClient.execute(httppost, responseHandler);
