  1. Im using my PHP-Webservice this way:

    Java:

    // params => "?action=getInfos"
    private JSONObject getJSONObject(String params)
    {
    try
    {
    String url = path2webservicephp + params;

    System.out.println("Call URL: " + url);

    HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);

    request.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml;charset=UTF-8");

    DefaultHttpClient httpclient2 = new DefaultHttpClient();

    HttpResponse response = httpclient2.execute(request);

    if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200)
    throw new ConnectionException("Status Code is " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + ": " + response.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
    String line = reader.readLine();

    MyConstants.RECEIVEDBYTES += line.length();

    reader.close();
    if ("[]".equals(line))
    return null;
    return new JSONObject(line);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
    LLog.e(Webservice.class, "Exception! params: " + params);
    LLog.e(e, Webservice.class);
    }
    return null;
    }


    // LLog.e is from my own class. It logs to Log.e and into a file

    PHP:

    $array = array('status' => 'ok', 'message' => 'your action was: '.$_GET['action']);
    echo json_encode($array);
