This blog post seems to talk about just that.

Post JSON Using Android And HttpClient

Edit: I saw your reply. Here’s how. Hope this does the trick 🙂

public static void main(String[] args) {
    File file = new File("<path to json file>");
    FileInputStream fis;
    String json = "";

    try {
        fis = new FileInputStream(file);

    BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
    DataInputStream  dis = new DataInputStream(bis);

      // dis.available() returns 0 if the file does not have more lines.
      while (dis.available() != 0) {
         json += dis.readLine();
      }

      // dispose all the resources after using them.
      fis.close();
      bis.close();
      dis.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

Essentially after this you would create the string entity to send

StringEntity st = new StringEntity(json.toString());

Then just follow the steps in that link

Haha, edit for your 2nd question: Just create a string with the text from the database. Thats all there is to it. Then create a StringEntity like the one above.
