Android, send and receive XML via HTTP POST method

Question

There is a relevant question, but I could not get the answer clearly.

I would like to POST a short xml code

Answer 1

Why not use Spring RestTemplate in Spring for Android?

Answer 2

You can get the content of the response using:

String responseXml = EntityUtils.toString(httpResponse.getEntity());

You can then write this to a file using something like this.

there is something wrong with receiving the response

Since you havn't said what is wrong with receiving the response it's somewhat difficult to help you with this point.

Answer 3

Ok, I have figured out soon after I posted this question. This code here works fine:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.192.131/");

try {
    StringEntity se = new StringEntity( "<aaaLogin inName=\"admin\" inPassword=\"admin123\"/>", HTTP.UTF_8);
    se.setContentType("text/xml");
    httppost.setEntity(se);

    HttpResponse httpresponse = httpclient.execute(httppost);
    HttpEntity resEntity = httpresponse.getEntity();
    tvData.setText(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));        
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
