Posting a JSON array to webservice in Android

Answer 1

Appending key/value data to URLs after a '?' is GET not POST.

This is how to POST data in Java:

String urlText = "http://www.myserver.com/myservice.php";
String postContent = "location_data=[{\"key1\":\"val1\",\"key2\":\"val2\"}]";
try {
  HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(urlText).openConnection();
  c.setDoOutput(true);
  OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
  writer.write(postContent);
  writer.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
