I need to send a string to a server, which in this case will be a page of my site. I need to send a txt with the string there, just that. Does anyone know how to do this on Android in the simplest way possible? Thank you in advance!

Create this class in your project:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HTTP;
public class RestClient {
private ArrayList <NameValuePair> params;
private ArrayList <NameValuePair> headers;
private String url;
private int responseCode;
private String message;
private String response;
public String getResponse() {
return response;
}
public String getErrorMessage() {
return message;
}
public int getResponseCode() {
return responseCode;
}
public RestClient(String url)
{
this.url = url;

}
public void AddParam(String name, String value)
{

{

}
public void Execute(RequestMethod method) throws Exception
{
switch(method) {
case GET:
{
//add parameters
String combinedParams = "";
if(!params.isEmpty()){
combinedParams += "?";
for(NameValuePair p : params)
{
String paramString = p.getName() + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(p.getValue(),"UTF-8");
if(combinedParams.length() > 1)
{
combinedParams += "&" + paramString;
}
else
{
combinedParams += paramString;
}
}
}
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url + combinedParams);
//add headers
for(NameValuePair h : headers)
{
request.addHeader(h.getName(), h.getValue());
}

break;
}
case POST:
{

//add headers

{

}
if(!params.isEmpty()){

}

}
}
}
private void executeRequest(HttpUriRequest request, String url)
{

HttpResponse httpResponse;
try {

responseCode = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
message = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase();
HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
response = convertStreamToString(instream);
// Closing the input stream will trigger connection release
instream.close();
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {

} catch (IOException e) {

}
}
return sb.toString();
}
public void AddParam(String name, long value) {
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(name, value + ""));
}
public enum RequestMethod {
GET(1), POST(2);
public int action;
private RequestMethod(int action) {
this.action = action;
}
}
}
Then just use the following code inside a Thread:
RestClient client = new RestClient("http://site");
client.AddParam("nome_parametro1", valor);
client.AddParam("nome_parametro2", valor2);
try {
client.Execute(RestClient.RequestMethod.GET);
String resposta = client.getResponse();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
