I am trying to send a HTTP post request to a REST service through my android app and the client runs as an async task. Here is the client:
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
String address = "http://xxx.xx.x.xxx:8080/rest/manageUser/create";
StringBuilder stringBuilder = null;
ArrayList<NameValuePair> postParameters;
try {
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(address);
postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("userId", userId));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("firstName", firstName));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lastName", lastName));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("mobileNumber",
mobileNumber));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("loginStatus",
loginStatus));
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters));
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response;
stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
response = client.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream stream = entity.getContent();
int b;
while ((b = stream.read()) != -1) {
stringBuilder.append((char) b);
}
// System.out.println(stringBuilder);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JSONObject jobj = null;
try {
jobj = new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
System.out.println(jobj.toString());
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
Also when I create the client as an standalone java class it works fine. But when I use it from my Android app as an async task as above, I get the following exception:

Can anyone suggest what could be the problem. Also in my rest service, I am recieving the data with the @FormParam . Any help would be appreciated.
