POSTing JSON/XML using android-async-http (loopj)

Question

I am using android-async-http and really liking it. I've run into a problem with POSTing data. I have to post data to the API in the following format: -

<request>   <notes>Test api support</notes>   <hours>3</hours>   <project_id type="integer">3</project_id>   <task_id type="integer">14</task_id>   <spent_at type="date">Tue, 17 Oct 2006</spent_at> </request> 

As per the documentation, I tried doing it using RequestParams, but it is failing. Is this any other way to do it? I can POST equivalent JSON too. Any ideas?

Loopj POST examples - extended from their Twitter example:

private static AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient(); 

To post normally via RequestParams:

RequestParams params = new RequestParams(); params.put("notes", "Test api support");  client.post(restApiUrl, params, responseHandler); 

To post JSON:

JSONObject jsonParams = new JSONObject(); jsonParams.put("notes", "Test api support"); StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(jsonParams.toString()); client.post(context, restApiUrl, entity, "application/json",     responseHandler);
