Android Webview POST

Question

I am trying to accomplish something quite simple, yet I have found no good documentation on this. I have a webView, and I need to load a page in it that requires POST data.

Answer 1

Try this:

private static final String URL_STRING = "http://www.yoursite.com/postreceiver";

public void postData() throws IOException, ClientProtocolException {  

     List nameValuePairs = new ArrayList();  
     nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("foo", "12345"));  
     nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("bar", "23456"));

     HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();  
     HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(URL_STRING);  
     httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));  

     HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);  

}

I would recommend doing this as part of an AsyncTask and updating the WebView afterwards
