Oto alternatywne rozwiązanie odpowiedzi @Terrance. Możesz łatwo zlecić konwersję na zewnątrz. Biblioteka Gson wykonuje wspaniałą pracę konwertując różne struktury danych do JSON i odwrotnie.

public static void execute() {
    Map<String, String> comment = new HashMap<String, String>();
    comment.put("subject", "Using the GSON library");
    comment.put("message", "Using libraries is convenient.");
    String json = new GsonBuilder().create().toJson(comment, Map.class);
    makeRequest("http://192.168.0.1:3000/post/77/comments", json);
}

public static HttpResponse makeRequest(String uri, String json) {
    try {
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(uri);
        httpPost.setEntity(new StringEntity(json));
        httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
        httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
        return new DefaultHttpClient().execute(httpPost);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

Podobne mogą być wykonane za pomocą Jackson zamiast Gson. Polecam również spojrzeć na Retrofit , który ukrywa wiele tego kodu kotła dla Ciebie. Dla bardziej doświadczonych programistów polecam wypróbowanie RxAndroid .

Polecam korzystanie z tego HttpURLConnectionzamiast HttpGet. Jako HttpGet jest już przestarzały w Android API poziom 22.

HttpURLConnection httpcon;  
String url = null;
String data = null;
String result = null;
try {
  //Connect
  httpcon = (HttpURLConnection) ((new URL (url).openConnection()));
  httpcon.setDoOutput(true);
  httpcon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
  httpcon.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
  httpcon.setRequestMethod("POST");
  httpcon.connect();

  //Write       
  OutputStream os = httpcon.getOutputStream();
  BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
  writer.write(data);
  writer.close();
  os.close();

  //Read        
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpcon.getInputStream(),"UTF-8"));

  String line = null; 
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();         

  while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {  
    sb.append(line); 
  }         

  br.close();  
  result = sb.toString();

} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} 

Za dużo kodu do tego zadania, sprawdź tę bibliotekę https://github.com/kodart/Httpzoid Is używa GSON wewnętrznie i zapewnia API, które działa z obiektami. Wszystkie szczegóły JSON są ukryte.

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.get("http://example.com/users")
    .handler(new ResponseHandler<User[]>() {
        @Override
        public void success(User[] users, HttpResponse response) {
        }
    }).execute();

Istnieje kilka sposobów na ustanowienie połączenia HHTP i pobieranie danych z usługi internetowej RESTFULL. Najnowszym jest GSON. Ale zanim przejdziesz do GSON musisz mieć pojęcie o najbardziej tradycyjnym sposobie tworzenia klienta HTTP i wykonywania komunikacji danych ze zdalnym serwerem. Wspomniałem o obu metodach wysyłania żądań POST & GET przy użyciu HTTPClient.

/**

    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
    HttpResponse response;
    HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
    // Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established.
    // The default value is zero, that means the timeout is not used. 
    int timeoutConnection = 60*1000;
    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);
    // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) 
    // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
    int timeoutSocket = 60*1000;

    HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
    try {

        response = httpclient.execute(httpget);

        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        if (entity != null) {
