ksoap2-android connecitong problems

Question

so I am having a problem trying to send 6 variables to a web service (http://hydra.chorleywood.org/hydradevices/devicesmanagement.asmx)

I am using ksoap2-android in android running 4.2 API 17

My program crashes every time I press the button it is associated with. I have looked through many tutorials and have done just as they have but it just does not work for me whether i run it in eclipse or export and run it on my phone.

here is the relevant parts of the code

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://hydra.chorleywood.org";
private static final String URL="http://hydra.chorleywood.org/hydradevices/devicesmanagement.asmx"; 
private static final String METHOD1_SOAP_ACTION_URL = "http://hydra.chorleywood.org/addNewDevice";
private static final String METHOD_NAME1 = "addNewDevice";

final Button status_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.device_status);
status_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Perform action on click

        // setting my variables
        String EUI64 = "EHF7980HY3G793HG393GF737GH80G7";
        String HashCode = "MB2GPD";
        int DeviceTypeID = 528391;
        String subType = "Weighing Scales";
        String Manufacturer = "Samsung";
        String SerialNumber = "8476403967";

        // setting connectionas
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME1);
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER12);
        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
        envelope.dotNet = true;

        // setting informaiton to be sent
        request.addProperty("EUI64", EUI64);
        request.addProperty("HashCode", HashCode);
        request.addProperty("DeviceTypeID", DeviceTypeID);
        request.addProperty("subType", subType);
        request.addProperty("Manufacturer", Manufacturer);
        request.addProperty("SerialNumber", SerialNumber);

        // setting request to be sent out
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

            try
            {
            androidHttpTransport.call(METHOD1_SOAP_ACTION_URL, envelope);
            //java.lang.String receivedString = (String)envelope.getResponse();
            //java.lang.Boolean receivedBoolean = (Boolean)envelope.getResponse();
            Object result = envelope.getResponse();

            /**if(receivedBoolean = true) {
                Context context = getApplicationContext();
                CharSequence text = "testing toast";
                int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;

                Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
                toast.show();
            }**/

            }

            catch(Exception e)
            {
            }
    }

I have set the permission in the manifest I'm not certain what exactly is wrong, does anyone know?

I have tried different API's and that still did not work. I would really appreciate any help on this topic, I have put a week into it so far and I'm just running in circles.

I have literally copy pasted other peoples web services with (what i believe to be an active server) and tried running their exact code and that does not seem to work also. Perhaps that will help you figure out the problem I am having.

Many thanks,

Charlie

You need to use Thread for android version higher then 3.0. Try this.

You are trying to access the network in main thread. Android throws the NetworkOnMainThreadException on these occasions.

Please check this question. android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

You need to access the network in a separate thread. (Processes and Threads)
