Submit form with POST data in Android app

Question

I\'ve been searching the web for a way to do this for about a week now, and I just can\'t seem to figure it out.

I\'m trying to implement an app that my college can use

What's wrong with them just using the built in browser? You can also submit a form using UrlEncodedFormEntity and HttpClient.

HttpParams params = new DefaultHttpParams(); // setup whatever params you what
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("someurl");
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity()); // with list of key-value pairs
client.execute(post, new ResponseHandler(){}); // implement ResponseHandler to handle response correctly.

Okay and after you have the response in a string. The response since its a page is going to be in html. You need to use a WebView to show the html. WebView has a method loadData() that takes a string of html and displays it.
