Passing parameters on HTTP Post Android

Question

Working on web integration for the first time I am having a problem registering users into the system. There is an api in my localhost that does this function. But the problem is the output its returning. Does the type of parameter also matter while passing data? Like if there is was a field asking for the user's number, in HTTP POST, do I have to send the data back in integer form ?? But I did notice that the BasicNameValuePair does not allow this.

The basic program looks like this:

public JSONObject registerURL(String fname,String lname,String mail,String password,String number,String sex,int role,String dob,String horoscope,String tob,String pob){
        List params = new ArrayList();
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("first_name", fname));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("last_name", lname));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email",mail));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("phone",number));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password",password));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sex",sex));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("role", String.valueOf(role)));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("date_of_birth",dob));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("horoscope_id",horoscope));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("time_of_birth",tob));
        params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("place_of_birth",pob));
        try {
            json = jsonParser.getJSONFromUrl(registerURL, params, POST);
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return json;
    }

Where it calls

public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(String url, List params, int method) throws URISyntaxException {

        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse httpResponse = null;
        HttpEntity httpentity = null;

        try {
            switch (method) {
            case 1: //PUT
                HttpPut putrequest  = new HttpPut(url);
                putrequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
                httpResponse  = httpClient.execute(putrequest);
                httpentity = httpResponse.getEntity();
                break;
            case 2: //GET
//              String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
//              url += "?" + paramString;              
//              Log.e("URL", url);
                HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);   
                httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
                httpentity = httpResponse.getEntity();          
                break;
            case 3: //POST
                HttpPost postrequest = new HttpPost(url);
                postrequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
                httpResponse = httpClient.execute(postrequest);
                httpentity = httpResponse.getEntity();

                break;
            }

            is = httpentity.getContent();


        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        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 + "
");
            }
            is.close();
            json = sb.toString();
            Log.i("JSON HERE", json);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
        }

        // try parse the string to a JSON object
        try {
            jObj = new JSONObject(json);            
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
        }

        // return JSON String
        return jObj;

    }

The error is as follows:
