Not connecting to Android KSOAP Webservice

I have a webservice on my localhost which has a simple method to connect to database and also return the name of cities in an array of strings.

Here is the link when I run my service:

http://localhost:1543/Service1.asmx

I'm trying to connect to this webservice via Android application,but I think I don't choose the namespace or soapaction and so forth correctly,So I receive the following exception.

expected: START_TAG {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Envelope (position:START_TAG @2:7 in java.io.InputStreamReader@41387778)

Here is my android Code:

    public class ProvinceCityActivity extends Activity
{
    EditText txtProvince;
    Button btnResult;

    private static String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/GetCities";

    private static String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/";
    private static String METHOD_NAME = "GetCities";

    private static String URL = "http://192.168.0.109:1543/Service1.asmx";

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        txtProvince = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtProvince);
        btnResult = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnResult);
        btnResult.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
                request.addProperty("value", txtProvince.getText().toString());
                SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                        SoapEnvelope.VER11);
                envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
                envelope.dotNet = true;


                try
                {
                    HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(
                            URL);
                    androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);


                    SoapObject result = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;
                    if (result != null)
                    {
                        String[] strResult = (String[]) result.getProperty(0);
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                            "Cities: " + strResult[0], 6000).show();
                    }
                } catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                            e.getMessage().toString(), 6000).show();
                }

            }
        });

    }
}

I'll throw my fix out there... I've run into this several times, and everytime in the past it was the action or the method or the url. However, this time it was the URL in a weird way...

I'm going through some proxy for a current project. For some reason, the URL is case sensitive.

https://abc.gov/webservice/webservice.asmx works

https://abc.gov/WEBSERVICE/webservice.asmx DOES NOT work

Hope this helps some.

    }
}

Try this It's working on my local machine. The Webservice returns true if the activity is added successfully. I hope it will help you.

Are you debuggin your app from android Emulator? If so, you should start your URL with "http:// 10.0.2.2" so that the emulator can connect to your local web service...

See the image here

enter image description here

SOAP_ACTION : It is your NAMESPACE/METHOD_NAME e.g. "http://ws.android4.com"

METHOD_NAME : It's the name of the Method e.g : "sayHello"

NAMESPACE : It's your NameSapce e.g: "http://ws.android4.com"

For an example webservice see this webservice of w3schools

Here,

METHOD_NAME:CelsiusToFahrenheit

SOAPAction: http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/CelsiusToFahrenheit

NAMESPACE: http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/

Add Internet permission to Androidanifest.xml file.

This error comes when you have not provided the correct URL. Please check URL, Method Name and Soap Action of the web service where you have hosted your web service. It is a good practice to use background services like AsyncTask to call webservices.
