I have been trying long to send an HttpPost request and retrieve response but even though I was able to make a connection I don't yet get how to get the string message which is returned by the request-response

    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();   
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.myurl.com/app/page.php"); 
    // Add your data   
    List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(5);   
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("type", "20"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("mob", "919895865899"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pack", "0"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("exchk", "1"));

    try {
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            Log.d("myapp", "works till here. 2");
            try {
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                Log.d("myapp", "response " + response.getEntity());
            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

I'm sorry, I sound very naive because I'm new to java. Please help me.
