Answer 1

Finally I got it How to glue the code shown in above answer ...

public static void performPost(String getUri, String xml) {

    String serverName = "*******";
    String username = "*******";
    String password = "********";
    String strResponse = null;

    try {
        HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost(serverName, 443, "https");

        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        try {
            // Store the user login
            httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
                    new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(), targetHost.getPort()),
                    new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password));

            // Create AuthCache instance
            AuthCache authCache = new BasicAuthCache();
            // Generate BASIC scheme object and add it to the local
            // auth cache
            BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme();
            authCache.put(targetHost, basicAuth);

            // Add AuthCache to the execution context
            BasicHttpContext localcontext = new BasicHttpContext();
            localcontext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);

            // Create request
            // You can also use the full URI http://www.google.com/
            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(getUri);
            StringEntity se = new StringEntity(xml,HTTP.UTF_8);
            se.setContentType("text/xml");
            httppost.setEntity(se); 
            // Execute request
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(targetHost, httppost, localcontext);

            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            strResponse = EntityUtils.toString(entity);

            StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
            Log.i(TAG +": Post","statusLine : "+ statusLine.toString()); 
            Log.i(TAG +": Post","________**_________________________\n"+strResponse);
            Log.i(TAG +": Post","\n________**_________________________\n");

        } finally {
            httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

One very important thing How your library should be arranged and which libraries you will required ...

From Here you will find this libraries.

To add them in eclipse (Below Android sdk < 16)...

Project properties -> java build path -> Libraries -> Add external JARs

To arrange them in order in eclipse ...

Project properties -> java build path -> order and export

For above Android sdk >= 16 you will have to put these libraries into "libs" folder.
