Try :

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", );
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", );

or

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpHost httpproxy = new HttpHost("",);
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,  httpproxy);

or

HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("ip address",port number);  
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,proxy);

HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(url);
List nvps = new ArrayList();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param name", param));
httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.ISO_8859_1));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpost);

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); 
System.out.println("Request Handled?: " + response.getStatusLine());
InputStream in = entity.getContent();
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
