Answer 1

You are getting the org.json.JSON Exception : End of input at character 0 Because, you got null response which generated that exception.

So, Check your result string before convert in to JSONObject.

JSONObject jobj = new JSONObject(result); // Check this result string.

Again answer for Request.

Haresh Chhelana Answer is correct.

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
    result.append(line);
}
JSONObject jobj = new JSONObject(result.toString());

Thanks.

Answer 2

Try to use BufferedReader :

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
    result.append(line);
}
