Question

I have javascript code that i am trying to mimic in an android application:

Here is the javascript code:

text = '{"username":"Hello","password":"World"}';
x.open("POST", url);
x.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
x.setRequestHeader("Content-length", text.length);
x.send(text);

and here is what i have so far for the android application(doesnt work):

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);                   
httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
String text = "\"{\"username\":\"Hello\",\"password\":\"World\"}\"";
httppost.setHeader("Content-length",Integer.toString(text.length()));
httppost.setEntity(new StringEntity(text));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); 

when i try to debug this code on eclipse the emulater keeps running while the debugger hangs. Thanks!

Note: its hanging on httpclient.execute(httppost)

Here is the code I use for Android post requests:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("fullurl");

List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("parameter", "variable");
post.setEntity (new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs));

HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);

…and so on.
