Hi all,
I've been banging my head trying to figure out how to send a post method in Android. This is how my code look like:
public class HomeActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private TextView textView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
HttpPost httpMethod = new HttpPost("http://www.example.com/");
httpMethod.addHeader("Accept", "text/html");
httpMethod.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml");
AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Android");
String result = null;
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpMethod);
textView.setText(response.toString());
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
Log.i(HomeActivity.class.toString(), result);
textView.setText("Invoked webservice");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(HomeActivity.class.toString(), e.getMessage());
textView.setText("Something wrong:" + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
This is the exception that I get:

What am I doing wrong here? Is there anything that I may need to configure from the Android emulator to get this working?
Thank you for your help.
