Hi,

I would like to invoke a webservice via Android. I need to POST some XML to a URL via HTTP. I found this snipped for sending a POST, but i dont know how to include/add the XML data itself.

public void postData() {
         // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header  
         HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();  
         HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://10.10.4.35:53011/");

         try {  
             // Add your data  
             List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);  
             nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml"));               
             httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); 
                 // Where/how to add the XML data?


             // Execute HTTP Post Request  
             HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);  

         } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {  
             // TODO Auto-generated catch block  
         } catch (IOException e) {  
             // TODO Auto-generated catch block  
         }  
     }

This is the complete POST message that i need to imitate:

POST /a8103e90-f1e3-11dd-bfdb-8b1fcff1a110 HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.10.4.35:53011
Content-Type: application/soap+xml
Content-Length: 602

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
