Question

I need to read this echo:

http://wee.co.il/Ski/weatherScript.php?op=3

into string, I have tried:

class RetreiveEcho extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> 
{
    private static final String TAG = "Her";

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://wee.co.il/Ski/weatherScript.php?op=3");

        Log.d(TAG, "Hello!");
        try {
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            Log.d(TAG, ""+response);
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

For now I only see in my log:

 org.apache.http.message.BasicHttpResponse@4132e5a8

The HTTPResponse object in your code is a java object holding the response. It isn’t a plain string. Therefore, printing the object results in the given log output. To access the php echo, you could try following code:

response = httpClient.execute(targetHost, targetGet);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
String htmlResponse = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
