soap 1.2 android Please supply a valid soap action

Question

My .net webservice is apparently running soap 1.2 (by checking the .wsdl) and ive been trying to access the helloworld webservice for testing but i have encountered errors. Im trying to do this via the emulator by the way.

So when I use soap 1.2 version , i get the error that it is "unable to handle request without a valid action parameter. Please supply a valid soap" I want to know what I am missing and what should I do.

Thank you!

Things I have already done:

Add permission for android to use the internet
Change from Soap version 1.1 and 1.2
Change from SoapObject to Object (for both soap 1.1 and 1.2)
Used 10.0.2.2 for the emulator
Checked for errors in spelling in the addresses and method names

My codes:

 private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://localhost/WebService/";
 private static final String URL = "http://10.0.2.2:1672/Eventurous/WsEventurousMobile.asmx";
 private static final String HelloWorld_SOAP_ACTION = "http://localhost/WebService/HelloWorld";
 private static final String METHOD_NAME1 = "HelloWorld";



...
...

public static String GetHelloWorld() {

  SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME1);
  SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
     SoapEnvelope.VER12);
  envelope.dotNet = true;
  envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
  HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL,60000);

  try {
   androidHttpTransport.setXmlVersionTag("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
    androidHttpTransport.call(HelloWorld_SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

   SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse(); 
   String result = response.getProperty(0).toString(); 

   return result;
   } catch (Exception e) {
   return e.toString();
  }

 }

use SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

instead of

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
     SoapEnvelope.VER12);

and remove this line androidHttpTransport.setXmlVersionTag("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");

and instead of SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();

use SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;

It will Help you.If still get Error then Write me.
