error posting data to webservice

I want to post data using JSON. But i am not able to achieve this. This is my java code:

package com.bandapp;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.JSONTokener;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class UpcomingShow extends ListActivity {
    public static final String TAG_SHOW_TITLE = "show_title";
    public static final String TAG_SHOW_VENUE = "show_venue";
    public static final String TAG_SHOW_DATE = "show_date";
    public static final String TAG_SHOW_TIME = "show_time";
    public static String URL = "http://example.com/example/example/mainAPI.php";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.upcoming_show);
        new AsyncData().execute();
    }

    class AsyncData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {
        JSONParser jParser;
        ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> upcomingShows;
        ProgressDialog pDialog;

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(UpcomingShow.this);
            pDialog.setTitle("Loading....");
            pDialog.setMessage("Please wait...");
            pDialog.show();
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(String... args) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            jParser = new JSONParser();
            List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
            upcomingShows = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("rquest", "={"));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("method","band_info"));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("body","[{}]}"));

            String res = "";
            try {
                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(URL);
                httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));  
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);  
                res = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
                JSONTokener t = new JSONTokener(res);
                JSONArray a = new JSONArray(t);
                JSONObject o = a.getJSONObject(0);
                String sc = o.getString(TAG_SHOW_TITLE);
                if(sc.equals("1"))
                {
                    // posted successfully
                    Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, sc, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else
                {
                 // error occurred
                    Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, "Fail.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e) 
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }

        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            if (pDialog != null && pDialog.isShowing()) {
                pDialog.dismiss();
            }
            ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(UpcomingShow.this, upcomingShows, R.layout.upcomingshows_row, new String[] {
                    TAG_SHOW_TITLE, TAG_SHOW_DATE, TAG_SHOW_TIME, TAG_SHOW_VENUE }, new int[] { R.id.textTitle, R.id.textdate,
                    R.id.textTime, R.id.textVenue });
            setListAdapter(adapter);
        }
    }
}

While doing AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> Task you can’t achieve Toast display in Main thread, user Log.d(“TAG”,”your-text”);

You can achieve Toast in onPostExecution() 

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

            return sc;

}

protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            if (pDialog != null && pDialog.isShowing()) {
                pDialog.dismiss();
            }
         if(result.equals("1"))
            {
                // posted successfully
                Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, result, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else
            {
             // error occurred
                Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, "Fail.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

I tried sending a post your request through Postman(google extension) and the URL you've provided responded with HTTP Status 200 but without a response message. Problem is, based on the code provided, is that you're expecting a message response from the said url. You should probably check with the server you are connecting with.

You can't toast into doInBackground() because you can't update the UIview during the thread execution ! You should to use 'onProgress' and 'publishProgress'

change : 

class AsyncData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void>

to:

class AsyncData extends AsyncTask<String, String, Void>

and override onProgress for toast:

@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
    super.onProgressUpdate(values);
        if (values[0] != null)
                Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, values[0], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

And into doInBackground():

if(sc.equals("1"))
{
    publishProgress(sc);
   }
   else
   {
    publishProgress("Fail.");
 }

    if(sc.equals("1"))
                {
                    // posted successfully
                    Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, sc, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else
                {
                 // error occurred
                    Toast.makeText(UpcomingShow.this, "Fail.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }

Remove this code form doInBackground

You can not update your UI on do in background , you can get result in onPostExecute and able to pop up those toast .
