Logcat is printing url as :
url: http://103.75.33.98/BPService/GetAllBPService.svc/GetSalesPersonNo/CBS/NOIDA/

Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but you are adding undeclared variables to the url. I think it should be:
URL url = new URL("http://103.75.33.98/BPService/GetAllBPService.svc/GetSalesPersonNo/"+cbs+"/"+city+"/"+saleP);

The problem is that you create the Url on in onCreate, at witch time city="", and you change the city in onItemClick: city=acTextView.getText().toString(), you need to generate the URL in onItemClick and call new SalesTask().execute(city); not right away
acTextView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String selection = (String)parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
city = acTextView.getText().toString();
url = new URL(new StringBuilder(myurl).append("/").append(username).append("/").append(password).append("/").append(city).toString());
new SalesTask().execute(city);
}
});

Android XML parsing listview

I using this tutorial http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/android-xml-parse-images-and-texts-tutorial/ to reaching XML parsing,if I want to change the url to this one http://gis.taiwan.net.tw/XMLReleaseALL_public/activity_C_f.xml ,how to do that? Because the xml format are different.If there is a similar question of this please inform me.Thanks.
There is a tag in each listitem but my url only 'Infos' at begin which includes all tags.

Change the URL in getXmlFromUrl() and then change the keys in parser.getValue(e, **RANK**). Whatever your format is, you need to specify the keys to get the data and then save accordingly.

In that tutorial Author is reading values from TEXT tag of XML. But in your case you need to get values from there attribute name.
private void parseRequestResultXML(InputStream stream) {
arraylist=new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
try {
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
XmlPullParser parser = factory.newPullParser();
parser.setInput(stream, null);
HashMap<String, String> map = null;
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
switch (parser.getEventType()) {
case XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT:
//Log.i("TAG", " Start document " + parser.getName());
break;
case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
//Log.i("TAG", " Start tag " + parser.getName());
String tag=parser.getName();
if(tag.equals("Info")){ //read values from Info tag
Log.i("TAG","reading info");
String id=parser.getAttributeValue(null, "Id");
String name=parser.getAttributeValue(null, "Name");
String website=parser.getAttributeValue(null, "Website");
//do same for other values
map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("id", id);
map.put("name", name);
map.put("website", website);
arraylist.add(map);
}
break;
case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
//Log.i("TAG", " End tag " + parser.getName());
break;
default:
break;
}
eventType=parser.next(); //get next event type
}
//reading all values from list
for (Map<String,String> e : arraylist) {
Log.d("TAG"," Row ID "+e.get("id")+" Name "+e.get("name")+" Website "+e.get("website"));
}
} catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
UPDATED:
Add this method in XMLParser.java
public InputStream getInputStreamFromUrl(String url) {
String xml = null;
try {
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
return httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
In doInBackground
arraylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
XMLParser parser = new XMLParser();
// Retrieve nodes from the given URL address
InputStream stream = parser.getInputStreamFromUrl("http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/xmlparseimgtxt.xml");
if (stream != null){
parseRequestResultXML(stream);
stream.close();

How can I actually display a toast without stoping it? Whenever it falls into the catch it is not responding.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you are using try-catch in a worker thread and want to display Toast, then I am afraid it is not going to work. You will have to do it in Main(UI) thread.
Try following:
try {
dateTo = dateFormatTo.parse(To);
}
catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
your_activity_context.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Please key in the correct input", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
e.printStackTrace();
}

Try following:
In getDateTo():
try {
dateTo = dateFormatTo.parse(To);
} catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Please key in the correct input", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
e.printStackTrace();
return -1L; // attention here
}
In getData():
long dateTo = -1L;
if((dateTo = getDateTo()) == -1L){
return null;
}
String toTS = "" + getDateTo();
In onPostExecute:
if(result == null) {
return;
}

Make boolean flag = false; globally.
Inside catch block make flag = true;
Run Toast inside an if block like
if (flag) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry, Couldn't find anything!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
inside your onclick method.

HTTP POST + ANDROID not giving response

I am beginner for Android. I want to send the data to my PHP page. but here i m trying to toast that post values. but there is no response. Plz help me.
My Code is:

setContentView(R.layout.send_msg);
Button btn_ok = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_ok);
btn_ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
EditText editText1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.sender);
String S_name = editText1.getText().toString();
EditText editText2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.reciever);
String S_email = editText2.getText().toString();
postData(S_name,S_email);
}
});
};
public void postData(String name,String email) {
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.URL.com/yourpage.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Fname", name));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Femail", email));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
//HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost, new BasicResponseHandler());
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
String reverseString = response.toString();
Toast.makeText(this, "response" + reverseString, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

I posted a Gist on how to do this using the android-rss library with the droidQuery library:
final RSSHandler handler = new RSSHandler(new RSSConfig());
$.ajax(new AjaxOptions().url(options.url())
.type("GET")
.dataType("XML")
.context(this)
.SAXContentHandler(handler)
.success(new Function() {
#Override
public void invoke($ droidQuery, Object... params) {
RSSFeed feed = handler.feed();
//TODO: handle feed here.
}
}));

Make an interface in your project first
public interface mMyInterface {
void processFinish(String response);
}
Then in your AsyncTaskClass do the following modifications
public class ConfigParser extends AsyncTask<Void, Void,Void > {
public mMyInterface delegate=null;
private String url="http://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/image_of_the_day.rss";
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
//Log.i("inJSONPARSERCLASS","success");
DefaultHttpClient client=new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post=new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse=client.execute(post);
HttpEntity entity=httpResponse.getEntity();
is=entity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Connection Error", "Error " + e.toString());
}
try {
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"),8);
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
String line=null;
while((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
sb.append(line+"\n");
}
is.close();
xml=sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
Log.i("main XML",""+xml);
return xml;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);
delegate.processFinish(result);
}
}
Now in your class which is extending the activity , implement the interface mMyInterface , this will override its method processFinish(String response), now use "response" as a string and pass it to the class where the parsing is being done
#Override
public void processFinish(String response) {
String xml=response;
//do SAXparsing stuff here, parse this xml string which contains the whole data u need to
parse
}
I hope this hint will work out for you very well. :)
