Server script to get a list of files as a string separated by "-" :

Android code to get string from server and separate the filenames:

try {
            int timeout= 7000;
            HttpPost httppost= null;
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            httpclient.getParams().setParameter(HttpConnectionParams.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, timeout);
            httppost = new HttpPost("http://yourserver/getlist.php"); 
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            is = entity.getContent();
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



        try{
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF-8"),8);
            sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n");
            String line="0";

            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }

            is.close();
            result=sb.toString();   
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        for (String getFile: result.split("-")){
            Log.d("abc","String is:" + getFile);
        }
