Question

I am working on an android project in which i need to send two xml as parameters to server using post method(i.e. i want to send as form). I am tried to send data by using following code but its not working. No data in the remote database.

private void postFormData(List<DataItem> ti,String ex,String getExpensesXml)
{    
//Create a new Http Client 
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url); 
try
{ 
    List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sync","true"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("tt",ti));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("te",ex)); 

    UrlEncodedFormEntity form; 
    form = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs,"UTF-8");  
    httppost.setEntity(form); 

    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); 
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();  
    String line = EntityUtils.toString(entity);    
    System.out.println(line);

} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
    } 
}

I couldn’t find what was the problem. It would be great if anyone manage to find the problem and suggest me the solution.

I have two more question?
Am i trying the correct code?
Is there any other way to send xml data to server via Form?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally i found the solution , I used the following code to send the data as a from to server

URL siteUrl;
    try {
        siteUrl = new URL(url);
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) siteUrl
                .openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setDoInput(true);

        DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
        String content1 = ""; 

        Set getkey = param.keySet();
        Iterator keyIter = getkey.iterator();
        String content = "";
        for (int i = 0; keyIter.hasNext(); i++) {
            Object key = keyIter.next();
            if (i != 0) {
                content += "&";
            }
            content += key + "=" + param.get(key);
            System.out.println("Content" + content);
        }

        System.out.println(content);
        out.writeBytes(content.trim());
        out.flush();
        out.close();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                conn.getInputStream()));
        String line = "";
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(line);
        }
        in.close();


    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    db.close();
}

It may helpful for some one like me.
