RESPONSE:

{"message":"Mail Send","data":true,"status":200}

the api you have mentioned is a GET method. Ask the API developer for documentation about the correct way to access the API. I tried sending a POSt request to it via rest client. It gives an error. — crashOveride, Apr 25 '16 at 06:58

Define a class AsyncT and call it in onCreate method using:

AsyncT asyncT = new AsyncT();
asyncT.execute();

Class definition:

class AsyncT extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

            try {
                URL url = new URL(""); //Enter URL here
                HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
                httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
                httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST"); // here you are telling that it is a POST request, which can be changed into "PUT", "GET", "DELETE" etc.
                httpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json"); // here you are setting the `Content-Type` for the data you are sending which is `application/json`
                httpURLConnection.connect();

                JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
                jsonObject.put("para_1", "arg_1");

                DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(httpURLConnection.getOutputStream());
                wr.writeBytes(jsonObject.toString());
                wr.flush();
                wr.close();

            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }


    }

@gothdo How do you handle the response that you get from the post message ? — Sandip Subedi, Mar 21 '17 at 19:14

@Sandip Subedi This is how you get response from the httpURLConnection

class AsyncT extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

            try {
                URL url = new URL(""); //Enter URL here
                HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
                httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
                httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST"); // here you are telling that it is a POST request, which can be changed into "PUT", "GET", "DELETE" etc.
                httpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json"); // here you are setting the `Content-Type` for the data you are sending which is `application/json`
                httpURLConnection.connect();

                JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
                jsonObject.put("para_1", "arg_1");

                DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(httpURLConnection.getOutputStream());
                wr.writeBytes(jsonObject.toString());
                wr.flush();
                wr.close();

                InputStream response = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response));
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line = null;
                try {
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                        sb.append(line + "\n");
                    }
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } finally {
                    try {
                       is.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                       e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }


    }
