Lets see HTTP POST() method. public void getResponse(String a, String b) { HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("URL"); //here write the url List < NameValuePair > nameValueList = new ArrayList < NameValuePair > (2); nameValueList.add(new BasicNameValuePair("keyword", a)); nameValueList.add(new BasicNameValuePair("keyword", b)); try { httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValueList)); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); Log.i(
