how to get the information from a http head in android

i've been given the task to send a POST message to the server giving it a JSON encoded message. The server would then send back a responce in a custom HTTP header field “X-SubmissionResponse”

so far i can successfully connect to the server (i know this because i get the responce code 202)

but i am having a lot of difficulty in getting the information from the responce, below is the code that i am currently using.

Error content not available

This code ends up returning null, Can anyone see what i am missing here?

This is the code above the if statement ^

    Error content not available

Header name = response.getFirstHeader("X-SubmissionResponse");
String whatsInhere = "";
if (name != null)
  whatsInhere = name.getValue();

Try using the correct methods of the Class Header. See http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/Header.html

HttpHead head = new HttpHead();

creates a new HEAD request, empty, that does not do anything in itself.

You want the header from the response to your request. Get it by simply:

Header name = response.getFirstHeader("X-SubmissionResponse");
