Question

I need to do a HTTP post to a web service..

If I place this into a web browser like this

http://server/ilwebservice.asmx/PlaceGPSCords?userid=99&longitude=-25.258&latitude=25.2548

then is stores the values to our DB on the server..

In Eclipse, using Java programming for android.. The url will look like

http://server/ilwebservice.asmx/PlaceGPSCords?userid="+uid+"&longitude="+lng1+"&latitude="+lat1+"

with uid, lng1 and lat1 being assigned as strings..

How would I run this?

Thanks

try {
    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
    String getURL = "http://server/ilwebservice.asmx/PlaceGPSCords?userid="+uid+"&longitude="+lng1+"&latitude="+lat1+";
    HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL);
    HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);  
    HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity();  
    if (resEntityGet != null) {  
                //do something with the response
                Log.i("GET RESPONSE",EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet));
            }
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
