That is depend on your response, If you pass data successfully then result will be ok other wise some exception will raised. — Chirag Savsani, Jan 04 '16 at 11:10
Try to check if it contains a `Location` header. Maybe you get redirected after a successful request. — Davide Pastore, Jan 04 '16 at 11:26
Make sure you are actually sending all the data which website needs. Some forms have hidden fields, which you may need to send too, or maybe you need to send the cookies also. — Jonas Czech, Jan 04 '16 at 11:32

Usually login into a web site requires two steps:

You send a get request to get the page, and you extract from there some values like session ID etc, and the cookies.
You send a post request with the values from step 1, and your user name and password.

To know which values you need to send, use your browser in the developer mode (by pressing F12) and examine the traffic.

If you want to write an android app, change the user agent string to match your browser, since some sites send different pages to different clients.

You can see an example HERE.
