 call HttpClient ,
HttpClient  client = new DefaultHttpClient();

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    TextView tv;
    String text;
    Button b;
    DefaultHttpClient client; 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    tv     = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
     text     = "";
    }
     public void callWebService(View webService)
    {
      try {
            postData();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
           }
  public void postData() throws JSONException{ 
        // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
        client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.0.1:8080/webservice/latest");        
        JSONObject json= new JSONObject();
           try {
            // JSON data:
                json.put("datapost",subJSON);
         StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(mainJSON.toString(), HTTP.UTF_8);
            httppost.setHeader("Content-Type","application/json");
            httppost.setEntity(entity);
            // Execute HTTP Post Request
            System.out.print(json);
            Log.e("tag", text);
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(httppost,localContext);
                      // for JSON:
            if(response != null)
            {
                InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();

                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                String line = null;
