Question

I want to send a string data, “” , in bytes format to server in android app. I uses the HttpClient but i think its not the right way, please help me how to do this?

in case of .net , i want similar code in java.

    string boundary = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    HttpWebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(url)
        as HttpWebRequest;
    request.Method = "POST";
    //request.ContentType = "application/json";
    request.PreAuthenticate = true;

    byte[] fulldata = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
    request.ContentLength = fulldata.Length;
    using (Stream sw = request.GetRequestStream())
    {
        sw.Write(fulldata, 0, fulldata.Length);
    }

First convert your string data to byte and by using ByteArrayEntity send data to server in byte format.

try like this

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.1/xxx");
HttpResponse response;
HttpParams hp = new BasicHttpParams();

//use ByteArrayEntity to send string data in byteformat
ByteArrayEntity byteEntity = new ByteArrayEntity(byte_data);
httppost.setEntity(byteEntity);
response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
