I am trying to make an app where i am supposed to send data from the application to a web server.
So far i've been searching and not been able to find a working example, i've found some using asynctask which does not work, so any help is appreciated!

You must have PhpMyAdmin to try this in local system, if you have hosted server part then try use the following php code and run it.
adminLogin.php
<?php
$hostname_localhost ="";
$database_localhost ="";
$username_localhost ="";
$password_localhost ="";
# Make sure above fields are filled with your config values (must)
$localhost = mysql_connect($hostname_localhost,$username_localhost,$password_localhost)
or
trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db($database_localhost, $localhost);
if (empty($_POST['username'])) {
echo "Please Enter a name";
} else {
$username = $_POST['username'];
}
if (empty($_POST['password'])) {
echo "Please Enter Your Password ";
} else {
$password = SHA1($_POST['password']);
}
$query_search = "select * from adminregister where username = '".$username."' AND password = '".$password."'";
$query_exec = mysql_query($query_search) or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($query_exec);
//echo $rows;
if($rows == 0) {
echo "\nNo Such User Found";
}
else {
echo "User Found";
}
mysql_close();
?>
Note: You need to create database and table specified in mysql to feed and retrieve the data
If any errors please leave a comment.

LoginAsync la = new LoginAsync();

You can pass txtUser and Pass to invokeLogin();
so it look like invokeLogin(txtUser,Pass);
Then your invokeLogin method
public void invokeLogin(String username, String pass){
login(username,pass);
}
So I have below Android code that works. But only until the point pointed out below in the code. The HTTPPost Gets back a JSON string from a webserver. In the postExecute I check the returned JSONObject on the key value "success". If it is 1 then do something. Else do something else. However the "do something else" is not working. Not sure why not. App does not crash but simply goes back to the screen.
Also any tips for better code on below is also appreciated as I am new to this.

Comparing with == means compare by reference which is not the case here. You want to compare the value of two strings.
Change to this
if(email.equals("email_bestaat")){
TextView t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.register_error);
t.setText("Email is al geregistreerd");
}
i have an android program having two fields name and pas which post the data in json format and the response is "data sent." instead of that response i want the name and pass parameters to be checked by my api which is connected to database.
#Override

I have an android login app which post two parameters i.e username and password. These 2 parameters are passed as json. The problem is I m not able to call the .net web api. This api confirms the login details and response I get from the page is id = 0 message "null"
I dont know where i am going wrong.

I am working on with:
org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
i am using jsp for writing server side code.
i am unaware of the procedure of sending some value to server from my emulator.
and get a value o a string from the server response.
I mean to say... what are the methods to be used? How to use them.?
To send a HTTP GET request and retrieve response:
private static void get(final Context context, final String url) {
new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = Utils.createHttpRequest(context, url, true, false);
setProxyIfNecessary(context, request);
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
Log.v("Test", "StatusCode: " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + ", Entity: " + EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
} catch (Exception e) {
// Oh, crash
}
}
}.start();
}
private static void setProxyIfNecessary(Context context, HttpUriRequest request) {
ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivity == null ? null : connectivity.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (networkInfo == null || networkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
return;
}
String proxyHost = Proxy.getHost(context);
if (proxyHost == null) {
return;
}
int proxyPort = Proxy.getPort(context);
if (proxyPort < 0) {
return;
}
HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort);
ConnRouteParams.setDefaultProxy(request.getParams(), proxy);
}
Call it by:
get(context, "http://developer.android.com/index.html");
And you will get log by logcat *:S Test:V
Notice that the new thread is to avoid blocking UI thread
Below is a code i implemented for sending username and password from android to server side JSP page. The response from the server is a json object which is then processed.The code is as given below.
