                    ArrayList postParameters = new ArrayList();
                    postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", username
                            .getText().toString()));

                    // String valid = "1";
                    String response = null;
                    try {
                        // "http://10.0.2.2//Mobile/login2.php"
                        response = CustomHttpClient
                                .executeHttpPost(
                                        "http://10.0.2.2//Mobile/login2.php",
                                        postParameters);
// now in result you will have the response from php file either 0 or 1.                        
result = response.toString();
                        // res = res.trim();
                        result = result.replaceAll("\\s+", "");
                        // error.setText(res);

                        if (!result.equals("0")) {
