Here is a sample code snippet for making HTTP POST request on the desired URL:

try { 

String myXML = "<? xml version=1.0> <Request> <Elemtnt> <data id=\"1\">E1203</data> <data id=\"2\">E1204</data> </Element> </Request>";

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext(); 
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full"); 

List<NameValuePair> dataToPost = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(); 

dataToPost.add(new BasicNameValuePair("yourxml", myXML)); 

httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(dataToPost)); 

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext); 

} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
}

I saw the code.I have one problem in this line dataToPost.add(new BasicNameValuePair("yourxml", post_your_xml)); What i have write in argument? – Gensheriff Oct 12 '11 at 10:48
@Gensheriff yes exactly, Create XML string and pass it here. – Paresh Mayani Oct 12 '11 at 10:50
Something like that StringBuilder sb=sb.append(""); sb.append("").sb.append("the_command").sb.append(""); sb.append(""); m i right or not? – Gensheriff Oct 12 '11 at 11:00
IF I HAVE ATTRIBUTE in XML tag.Than What i have to write in String? – Gensheriff Oct 12 '11 at 11:27
@Gensheriff just create a single string of the whole XML. if you have Attribute in XML then escape the string with "\" – Paresh Mayani Oct 12 '11 at 11:29
