3Please at least clean up your code (`TODO Auto-generated method stub`, `System.err`, `rohit`?), format it nicely, **post it as an answer** to your own question and then accept it. – Philipp Reichart Sep 02 '11 at 20:09

This shouldn't be closed if Rohit will follow the advice from @Philipp. – John Saunders Sep 02 '11 at 21:20

I face very much dificuly to authenticate via HTTP in Android as in browser (web and Android native) it worked perfect and ask for credentials but this scene is not in code. so here is the code I used.
URL url = new URL("YOUR URL HERE");
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator(){
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
System.err.println("Feeding username and password for " + getRequestingScheme());
return (new PasswordAuthentication("username", "password".toCharArray()));
}});
InputStream stream = url.openStream();

If this really is an answer to your question, you should accept it as such. – Tim Post Sep 10 '11 at 15:44
