Android, sending XML via HTTP POST (SOAP)
- by Intosia
Hi,
I would like to invoke a webservice via Android. I need to POST some XML to a URL via HTTP.
I found this snipped for sending a POST, but i dont know how to include/add the XML data itself.
public void postData() {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://10.10.4.35:53011/");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Where/how to add the XML data?
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
This is the complete POST message that i need to imitate:
POST /a8103e90-f1e3-11dd-bfdb-8b1fcff1a110 HTTP/1.1
