   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

And Finally here is my Code that I have done to get this Data.

URL = "http://test.tpsynergy.com:8080/tpsynergy/services/login";
SOAP_ACTION = "http://test.tpsynergy.com:8080/tpsynergy/services/login";
METHOD = "Login";
NAMESPACE = "http://test.login/";
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "Login");
request.addProperty("arg0", "best_buyer_editor");
request.addProperty("arg1", "welcome");
request.addProperty("arg2", "Mobile");

Log.i(TAG, "Request for getting airport list" + request.toString());

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
envelope.dotNet = true;
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try {
    androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

    if (envelope.bodyIn instanceof SoapFault) {
                String str= ((SoapFault) envelope.bodyIn).faultstring;
                Log.i("", str);


     } else {
                SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;
                response = resultsRequestSOAP.getProperty(0).toString();

                 Log.i(" Login Webservice Response", "Responce ---->"
                         + (resultsRequestSOAP.getProperty(0).toString()));
            }

    } catch (Exception e) {

            Log.i(TAG, "Exception e" + e.toString());
        }

After Executing the above code i am getting Following Error:

Unmarshalling Error: unexpected element (uri:"http://test.login/", local:"arg0"). Expected elements are <{}arg2>,<{}arg1>,<{}arg0> 

Can Anyone Tell me why i am getting Success in SOAPUI bt not through my code.

I have referred many SO link but not able to solve my Problem.

Thanks in Advance.

    After Facing this Issue for a Very Long time I have found Solution to this. Any one can try it out as its Works for me Perfectly fine.

    My Solution for Above Problem :

    Firstly i have made an txt file same like SOAP Request with {%key%} wherever you want to add the Parameters Dynamically. make this txt file and put it into raw folder created res folder. Now you will have the yourfilename.txt as looks like below :

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:test="http://test.login/">
       <soapenv:Header/>
       <soapenv:Body>
          <test:Login>
             <!--Optional:-->
             <arg0>{%arg0%}</arg0>
             <!--Optional:-->
             <arg1>{%arg1%}</arg1>
             <!--Optional:-->
             <arg2>{%arg2%}</arg2>
          </test:Login>
       </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>
    

    And Now you will do Code as like Below inside your java file to access the Right Response :

    you will get response with Calling the Below Method :

    response = new sendSoapRequest(
                            getApplicationContext(), yourargument1, yourargument2, yourargument3);
    

    with Below Included Method :

    /**
         * Sends SOAP request to the web service.
         * 
         * @param requestContent
         *            the SOAP request XML
         * @return KvmSerializable object generated from the SOAP response XML
         * @throws Exception
         *             if the web service can not be reached, or the response data
         *             can not be processed.
         */
        public String sendSoapRequest(Context c, String arg0, String arg1,
                String arg2) throws Exception {
    
    
     URL = "PASTE YOUR WS URL";//"http://test.tpsynergy.com:8080/tpsynergy/services/login";
            String FinalString = getStringFromRaw(c);
            Log.i("TAG", "*********************** FinalString Before "
                    + FinalString);
    
            FinalString = getFinalString(FinalString, arg0, arg1, arg2);
    
            Log.i("TAG", "***********************After Finallyyy   :  FinalString "
                    + FinalString);
    
            // send SOAP request
            InputStream responseIs = sendRequest(FinalString);
    
            // create the response SOAP envelope

                    String errorMsg = "Got SOAP response code "
                            + responseStatusCode + " "
                            + httpResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase();
                    // ...
                }
    
                // get the response content
                HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
                InputStream is = httpEntity.getContent();
                return is;
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                Log.e("LOG_TAG", "Error getting SOAP response", e);
                // throw e;
            }
            return null;
        }
    
        /**
         * Parses the input stream from the response into SoapEnvelope object.
         */
        private void parseResponse(InputStream is, SoapEnvelope envelope)
                throws Exception {
            try {
                XmlPullParser xp = new KXmlParser();
                xp.setFeature(XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES, true);
                xp.setInput(is, "UTF-8");
                envelope.parse(xp);
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                Log.e("LOG_TAG", "Error reading/parsing SOAP response", e);
    
            }
    
        }
    

    Now you will not have to worry about the ComplexType Request parameter or Any other thing.
    Because you are passing the Same formate with XML as Request as Like SOAPUI tool is Passing.

    Now you have the correct Response that you want.

    Hope it will Work for others Also.
