GAE Reading from Datastore

I want to return myHighscores from Datastore: i.e.: Paul,1200 Tom,1000 Kevin,800

private void returnHighscores(HttpServletResponse resp, String game, int max) throws IOException {
    DatastoreService datastore = DatastoreServiceFactory.getDatastoreService();
    Key gameKey = KeyFactory.createKey("game", game);
    Query query = new Query("highscore", gameKey);
    query.addSort("points", Query.SortDirection.DESCENDING);
    List<Entity> highscores = datastore.prepare(query).asList(FetchOptions.Builder.withLimit(max));

    for(Entity e : highscores) {
        resp.getWriter().println(e.getProperty("name") + "," + e.getProperty("points"));
    }
}

and it is working :) ! But when I want to read the returned Highscores and add the String to a textView with:

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Mueckenfang");
        HttpPost request = new HttpPost(HIGHSCORE_SERVER_BASE_URL + "?game=" + HIGHSCORESERVER_GAME_ID);

        HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(entity.getContent(), "utf-8");
        int c = reader.read();
        while (c > 0) {

            highscores += (char) c;
            c = reader.read();
        }
        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.highscoreTv);
        tv.setText(highscores);

I only get some HTML code like:

><html><head><meta http-euiv="content-type"content="text/html;charset=utf-8"><title>405 GTTP method POST is....

But i want something like Paul,1200 Tom,1000 Kevin 800 and so on

The issue is your handler on appengine supporting only http 'GET'( I think you are overriding only doGet) but you are using 'POST' from the client. Change the http method on client side to 'GET'.

HttpPost not accepted query parameter, as like "?game=" + HIGHSCORESERVER_GAME_ID.

you need to pass that values as 

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Mueckenfang");
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(HIGHSCORE_SERVER_BASE_URL);
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);  
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("game", String.valueOf(HIGHSCORESERVER_GAME_ID)));    
request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); 
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
