Question

This is the script that works:

curl -H  'content-type:application/json' -d '{"userrequest": {"username": "testname", "status": 1}}'  http://http://employeestracking.appspot.com/clockin.add_clockin

This is what I tried to use in android:
further,How can I see/debug the output?

                    HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
                HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
                HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost("http://employeestracking.appspot.com/clockin.add_clockin");
                httpost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                httpost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
                System.out.println("2");
                JSONObject data = new JSONObject();
                JSONObject userrequest = new JSONObject();
                HttpResponse response = null;
                try {
                    userrequest.put("username","TestDemo");
                    userrequest.put("status",1);
                    data.put("userrequest", userrequest);
                    System.out.println(data);
                    httpost.getParams().setParameter("data",data);
                    try {
                        response = client.execute(httpost);
                        System.out.println(response);
                    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }

                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

this is what i get from the server:

Answer 1

I replaced

httpost.getParams().setParameter("data",data);

with:

StringEntity se = new StringEntity(data.toString());
httpost.setEntity(se);

and it worked
