Firstly add following to your manifest. This is to request for a permission to access the internet.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Then the simplest way to hit a webservice is use the HttpClient bundled with android:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(URL));
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
    out.close();
    String responseString = out.toString();
    //Whatever you wanna do with the response
} else{
    //Close the connection.
    response.getEntity().getContent().close();
    throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
}

where we want to give our url,and where we want to put this code,can you tell me some full details,i am new to android,can you tell me how to do fully – Maruthi042 Feb 22 '13 at 04:58
there is something called `URL` in the second line. You give your `URL` there and this is the whole code to hit a **webservice**. You need to put it wherever you want to call it. – Rahul Feb 22 '13 at 05:00

no need to add any external jars for this. And for basic android functionality, you need to check the [cookbook](http://developer.android.com/training/index.html). – Rahul Feb 22 '13 at 05:34

it says:- `NetworkOnMainThreadException`. try to use an [`AsyncTask`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9671546/asynctask-android-example) for all your network related calls. – Rahul Feb 22 '13 at 07:07
