receiving JSON response (android)

Question

I am trying to send a JSON with the information email address, first and last names and expecting a response from the server to say {status: "Created"} or {status: "Resend"} and depending on the answer there would be a pop up message. I was wondering what I use to extract the information from the status class. Thanks! Here is my code to accept

protected void sendJson(final String email, final String firstN,
        final String lastN) {
    Thread t = new Thread() {
        public void run() {
            Looper.prepare(); // For Preparing Message Pool for the child
                                // Thread
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(),
                    10000); // Timeout Limit
            HttpResponse response;
            JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
            try {

                // post in the url


                HttpPost post = new HttpPost(
                        "https://iphone-radar.com/accounts");
                json.put("email_address", email);
                json.put("first_name", firstN);
                json.put("last_name", lastN);
                StringEntity se = new StringEntity("JSON: "
                        + json.toString());
                se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,
                        "application/json"));
                post.setEntity(se);
                response = client.execute(post);
                /* Checking response */
                if (response != null) {
                    String str = response.getEntity().toString();
                    if (str.equals("Created")) {
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(CreateAccount.this)
                                .setTitle("Account Creation Successful")
                                .setMessage(
                                        "An activation code has been sent to you. Please check your SPAM folder if you do not receive your activation code email")
                                .setNeutralButton("OK", null).show();
                    } else if(str.equals("Resend")) {
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(CreateAccount.this)
                                .setTitle("Code Resent")
                                .setMessage(
                                        "Your activation code has been resent to your email.\n\nIf you are not receiving your activation code, our email is being blocked. Please email us at 'help@iphone-tracker.net' and we will manually send you a code.")
                                .setNeutralButton("OK", null).show();
                    }


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

        }

You should convert the response to a string, then create a JSONObject. You can then just access the JSON object's properties. Try this:

org.json.JSONObject obj = new org.json.JSONObject(org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
                    if ("Created".equals(obj.getString("status"))) {
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(CreateAccount.this)
                                .setTitle("Account Creation Successful")
                                .setMessage(
                                        "An activation code has been sent to you. Please check your SPAM folder if you do not receive your activation code email")
                                .setNeutralButton("OK", null).show();
                    } else if("Resend".equals(obj.getString("status"))) {
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(CreateAccount.this)
                                .setTitle("Code Resent")
                                .setMessage(
                                        "Your activation code has been resent to your email.\n\nIf you are not receiving your activation code, our email is being blocked. Please email us at 'help@iphone-tracker.net' and we will manually send you a code.")
                                .setNeutralButton("OK", null).show();
                    }
