Step 1: Create a class MySSLSocketFactory and include below code:

public class MySSLSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {
    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

    public MySSLSocketFactory(KeyStore truststore)
                    throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, KeyManagementException,
                    KeyStoreException, UnrecoverableKeyException {
            super(truststore);

            TrustManager tm = new X509TrustManager() {
                    public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
                                    String authType) throws CertificateException {
                    }

                    public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
                                    String authType) throws CertificateException {
                    }

                    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                            return null;
                    }
            };

            sslContext.init(null, new TrustManager[] { tm }, null);
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port,
                    boolean autoClose) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
            return sslContext.getSocketFactory().createSocket(socket, host, port,
                            autoClose);
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
            return sslContext.getSocketFactory().createSocket();
    }

}

Step 2: Create a class WebClientDevWrapper and include the below code:

public class WebClientDevWrapper {

    public static HttpClient getNewHttpClient() {
         try {
             KeyStore trustStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
             trustStore.load(null, null);

             SSLSocketFactory sf = new MySSLSocketFactory(trustStore);
             sf.setHostnameVerifier(
                    SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);

             HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
             HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
             HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params, HTTP.UTF_8);

             SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
             registry.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
             registry.register(new Scheme("https", sf, 443));

             ClientConnectionManager ccm = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, registry);

             return new DefaultHttpClient(ccm, params);
         } catch (Exception e) {
             return new DefaultHttpClient();
         }
     }

}

Step 3: Create a method inside your Activity or elsewhere, this method is going to be used for making a web call.

/**
     * Request JSON based web service to get response
     * 
     * @param url
     *            - base URL
     * @param request
     *            - JSON request
     * @return response
     * @throws ClientProtocolException
     * @throws IOException
     * @throws IllegalStateException
     * @throws JSONException
     */
    public HttpResponse request(String url, JSONObject request)
            throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, IllegalStateException,
            JSONException {

        DefaultHttpClient client = (DefaultHttpClient) WebClientDevWrapper.getNewHttpClient();

            HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
            post.setEntity(new StringEntity(request.toString(), "utf-8"));
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
            return response;
        }
    }

Step 4: Call a method and get response.
