You need to use HttpClient. See a related question here.

Answer 2

Here's some code that will make an HTTP POST request. Taken from http://androidadvice.blogspot.com/2010/10/httppost-request.html, which has some additional explanation as well.

HttpClient httpclient =  new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(Constants.MAIN_URL);
List<namevaluepair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<namevaluepair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("u", eUsername));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("p", ePassword));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
