I am using wampserver and json code. There is no syntax error in my project but desired output does not display... I dont know the reason... following is the code...



import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;

import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

TextView txt;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.new1);

LinearLayout rootLayout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
txt = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
rootLayout.addView(txt);
setContentView(rootLayout);


txt.setText("Connecting...");

txt.setText(getServerData(KEY_121));
}


public static final String KEY_121 = "http://127.0.0.1/PAHMA.php"; //i use my real ip here

private String getServerData(String returnString) {


InputStream is = null;

String result = "";

//the year data to send
ArrayList<namevaluepair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<namevaluepair>();


//http post
try{
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(KEY_121);

httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();


}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
}


//convert response to string
try{
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result=sb.toString();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
}

The output is the address of php file ..
e.g.

http://127.0.0.1/PAHMA.php
