httpclient httpclient = new defaulthttpclient(); httppost httppost = new httppost(posturl);  list<namevaluepair> params = new arraylist<namevaluepair>(); params.add(new basicnamevaluepair("name","var1")); params.add(new basicnamevaluepair("name2","var2"));  httppost.setentity(new urlencodedformentity(params));     httpresponse resp = httpclient.execute(httppost); httpentity ent = resp.getentity();

httpclient httpclient = new defaulthttpclient(); httppost httppost = new httppost(posturl);   httppost.setentity(new stringentity("your string"));     httpresponse resp = httpclient.execute(httppost); httpentity ent = resp.getentity();
