您可以使用以下方法向URL发送HTTP-POST请求并接收响应。我总是用这个:

try {
    AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
    // Http Request Params Object
    RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
    String u = "B2mGaME";
    String au = "gamewrapperB2M";
    // String mob = "880xxxxxxxxxx";
    params.put("usr", u.toString());
    params.put("aut", au.toString());
    params.put("uph", MobileNo.toString());
    //  params.put("uph", mob.toString());
    client.post("http://196.6.13.01:88/ws/game_wrapper_reg_check.php", params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(String response) {
            playStatus = response;
            //////Get your Response/////
            Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Response SP Status. " + playStatus);
        }
        @Override
        public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
            super.onFailure(throwable);
        }
    });
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

你还需要在libs文件夹中添加风箱Jar文件

android-async-http-1.3.1.jar

最后，我编辑了你的build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/<android-async-http-1.3.1.jar>')
}

在最后一个重建你的项目。

你可以使用URLConnection setDoOutput(true)， getOutputStream()(用于发送数据)，和getInputStream()(用于接收)。Sun在这方面有一个例子。

@primpop的答案，我会添加如何转换字符串中的响应:

HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
    InputStream instream = entity.getContent();

    String result = RestClient.convertStreamToString(instream);
    Log.i("Read from server", result);
}

下面是一个convertStramToString的例子。

对我来说，接下来的工作是:

 private sendData() {
     JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
     jsonObject.accumulate("key1", value1);
     jsonObject.accumulate("key2", value2);

     boolean success = sendPost(SERVER_URL + "/v1/auth", jsonObject);
 }

 private boolean sendPost(String url, JSONObject parameters) {
        boolean requestResult = false;
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        String result = "";
        try {

            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

            String json = "";

            json = parameters.toString();

            StringEntity se = new StringEntity(json);
            httpPost.setEntity(se);

            httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

            HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(httpPost);

            inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();

            if (inputStream != null) {
                result = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
                requestResult = true;
            } else {
                result = "Did not work!";
                requestResult = false;
            }
            System.out.println(result);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("InputStream", e.getLocalizedMessage());
            requestResult = false;
        }
        return requestResult;
    }

https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html 如何使用NameValuePair使用POST添加参数到HttpURLConnection

原答案(2010年5月)

注意:此解决方案已过时。它只能在5.1版本以下的安卓设备上运行。Android 6.0及以上版本不包括本回答中使用的Apache http客户端。

来自Apache Commons的Http Client是可行的。它已经包含在android中。下面是一个简单的例子，说明如何使用它来执行HTTP Post。

public void postData() {
    // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");

    try {
        // Add your data
        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Hi"));
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

        // 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
    }
} 

通过这种方式，我们可以用http post方法发送数据并获得结果

     public class MyHttpPostProjectActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    private EditText usernameEditText;
    private EditText passwordEditText;
    private Button sendPostReqButton;
    private Button clearButton;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.login);

        usernameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.login_username_editText);
        passwordEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.login_password_editText);

        sendPostReqButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_sendPostReq_button);
        sendPostReqButton.setOnClickListener(this);

        clearButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_clear_button);
        clearButton.setOnClickListener(this);        
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if(v.getId() == R.id.login_clear_button){
            usernameEditText.setText("");
            passwordEditText.setText("");
            passwordEditText.setCursorVisible(false);
            passwordEditText.setFocusable(false);
            usernameEditText.setCursorVisible(true);
            passwordEditText.setFocusable(true);
        }else if(v.getId() == R.id.login_sendPostReq_button){
            String givenUsername = usernameEditText.getEditableText().toString();
            String givenPassword = passwordEditText.getEditableText().toString();

            System.out.println("Given username :" + givenUsername + " Given password :" + givenPassword);

            sendPostRequest(givenUsername, givenPassword);
        }   
    }

    private void sendPostRequest(String givenUsername, String givenPassword) {

        class SendPostReqAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

                String paramPassword = params[1];

                // In a POST request, we don't pass the values in the URL.
                //Therefore we use only the web page URL as the parameter of the HttpPost argument
                HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://www.nirmana.lk/hec/android/postLogin.php");

                // Because we are not passing values over the URL, we should have a mechanism to pass the values that can be
                //uniquely separate by the other end.
                //To achieve that we use BasicNameValuePair

                // We add the content that we want to pass with the POST request to as name-value pairs
                //Now we put those sending details to an ArrayList with type safe of NameValuePair
                List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairList = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                nameValuePairList.add(usernameBasicNameValuePair);

                    UrlEncodedFormEntity urlEncodedFormEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairList);

                    // setEntity() hands the entity (here it is urlEncodedFormEntity) to the request.
