    new Thread(new Runnable() { 
        public void run(){

            HttpParams myParams = new BasicHttpParams();
            HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(myParams, 10000);

            try {

                httppost = new HttpPost(url.toString());
                httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

                StringEntity se = new StringEntity(obj.toString()); 
                se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
                httppost.setEntity(se); 

                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

                    tw.setText( response.toString());
                }
            });

        }

Well, just replace your " by \" :

url = "http://some-site.com/api/?photos.getPhotosByCategory={\"id\":\"1\",\"limitOne\":\"3\",\"limitTwo\":\"3\"}";

You could have figured this out by yourself...

Escape your quote. Try below code

String url = "http://some-site.com/api/?photos.getPhotosByCategory={\"id\":\"1\",\"limitOne\":\"3\",\"limitTwo\":\"3\"}";

If you have problem in string

url = "http://some-site.com/api/?photos.getPhotosByCategory=`{"id":"1","limitOne":"3","limitTwo":"3"}";`

swap to

url = "http://some-site.com/api/?photos.getPhotosByCategory={\"id\":\"1\",\"limitOne\":\"3\",\"limitTwo\":\"3\"}";

If you have a problem when you send this JSON on server, use unicode

http://some-site.com/api/?photos.getPhotosByCategory=%7B%22id%22%3A%221%22%2C%22limitOne%22%3A%223%22%2C%22limitTwo%22%3A%223%22%7D
