HttpPost On android crashing app

Question

I'm trying to make an App to upload data from android to Mysql online.

It's simple, you fill 2 text entries, press the button and the HttpPost should happen. But it crashs my App.

I've made a simple PHP scrip to convert and now I'm trying to get android to send the data with HttpPost and HttpClient.

I've seen a lot of examples and came up with this code:

package com.lstupenengo.mysql;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    public void ClickBoton (View view){
        EditText ET1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_valor1);
        EditText ET2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_valor2);
        String valor1 = ET1.getText().toString();
        String valor2 = ET2.getText().toString();

        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost("MY URL GOES HERE");

        try {
            // Add your data
            List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(4);
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var", "SECRET"));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var2", "SECRET"));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("valor1", valor1));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("valor2", valor2));
            //Random
            Random r = new Random();
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("valor3", Integer.toString(r.nextInt(501))));


            post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

            // Execute HTTP Post Request

            HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Toast.makeText(this, "Fallo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Toast.makeText(this, "Fallo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
}

here is my xml file

No, I've just read it. It seemed that the error in the other post was a bad URL. My URL is fine, I can browse it. — Luciano Stupenengo, Dec 15 '14 at 06:04
