IllegalStateException: Content has been consumed

I got struck because of IllegalStateException in the following code. Can anybody please help me? Code:

it's also happens if you are writing the consuming statement in the Expressions of the debugger!!!
(e.g if you are doing "watch" to something like EntityUtils.toString(resEntity))

I just dealt with a case of a null check on the entity causing it to be flagged as "consumed". Hope my headache will help someone else out there.

Vikas Patidar's answer helped me figure out the key to the riddle, so many thanks

You can consume Content only at once from an Entity

in the line : 

final JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));

you have consumed content and again you are using the same at here:

Log.e("XXX",EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));

That why it is causing IllegalStateException: Content has been consumed

So the solution is here: 

String _response=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity); // content will be consume only once
final JSONObject jObject=new JSONObject(_response);
Log.e("XXX",_response);

First, this has to be a mistake that every single new android programmer makes and it's asked here every single day. You have

user.getText().toString()!= ""&& pw.getText().toString()!= ""

This doesn't do what you want it to. You need

 !user.getText().toString().equals("")&& !pw.getText().toString().equals("")

Also, you need to print the stacktrace. In your exception, you need

e.printStackTrace()

instead of logging

e.toString()
