how to pass the parameters to the urlconnection in java/android?

Question

hi all,

i can establish a connection using HttpUrlConnection. my code below.

client = new DefaultHttpClient();
URL action_url = new URL(actionUrl);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) action_url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("userType", "2");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestMethod(HttpPost.METHOD_NAME);
DataOutputStream ds = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
String content = "username=username1&password=password11";
Log.v(TAG, "content: " + content);
ds.writeBytes(content);
ds.flush();
ds.close();
InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();//**getting filenotfound exception here.**
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(in));
StringBuilder str1 = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
str1.append(line);
Log.v(TAG, "line:" + line);
}
in.close();
s = str1.toString();

getting filenotfound exception. dont know why?

else give me some suggestion to pass username and passwrod parameter to the url by code..

Does it help to close the output stream only after you read from the input stream?

The HTTPClient offers a much simpler way to access http resources, when all you want to do is fetch the repsonse body:

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://domain.com/path?var1=bla&var2=foo");
HTTPResponse reponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
