[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

now in Android i want to do the same thing and i am looking for a way to set the body of http post.

Answer 1

You can use HttpClient and HttpPost to build and send the request.

HttpClient client= new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("www.example.com");

List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("paramName", "paramValue"));

request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs ));
HttpResponse resp = client.execute(request);

Answer 2

You could use this snippet -

HttpURLConnection urlConn;
URL mUrl = new URL(url);
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) mUrl.openConnection();
...
//query is your body
urlConn.addRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/" + "POST");
if (query != null) {
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(query.length()));
urlConn.getOutputStream().write(query.getBytes("UTF8"));
}
