android json post to php

I have done raw rest get and post and also could do post in namevaluepair but no matter which tutorial i follow i just cant get json post done ...

Android Application:

ArrayList<String> stringData = new ArrayList<String>();
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.10/people.php");     

JSONObject holder = new JSONObject();
holder.put("name", "Foo");    
holder.put("occupation", "Bar");

StringEntity se = new StringEntity(holder.toString());
postMethod.setEntity(se);
postMethod.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
postMethod.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

ResponseHandler <String> resonseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String response=httpClient.execute(postMethod,resonseHandler); 
stringData.add(response);

return stringData;

PHP file:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

 var_dump($_POST);
}

the var_dump just gives an empty array and $_POST["name"] gives undefined index ... any help would be nice

I think the problem might be the url you are using.

Post to 10.0.2.2 instead of the one you specified in your http post.

Have you tried to ship the holder.toString() with BasicNameValuePair class?

Like 

ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("myjson", holder.toString());
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

then just in your php you get it like 

$jsonstring = $_REQUEST['myjson'];

Two additional ways to read POST data:

  1. Read from php://input
  2. Use var $HTTP_POST_RAW_DATA.

Look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.httprawpostdata.php
