Android set content type HttpPost

Question

How can you change the content-type of a HttpPost in android?

For a request I need to set the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

So i got this bit of code:

httpclient=new DefaultHttpClient(); httppost= new HttpPost(url); StringEntity se = new StringEntity("");  se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")); httppost.setEntity(se); 

But that doesn't do the trick and I cant find the solution anywhere.

Cheers

            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(builder.getUrl());             httppost.setHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,                     "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");             // Add your data             httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(builder                     .getNameValuePairs(), "UTF-8"));              // Execute HTTP Post Request             HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); 

Note: the builder just contains url and namevalue pairs.
