Unable to retrieve JSON response

I have a url which serves data to my android application, i learnt from a tutorial and wrote some code. It works perfectly for other url's but this one

http://acolyteserv.appspot.com/Products/getProductMatchedList/?format=json&p0=galaxy&p1=4&p2=all

the code is:

private void testere()
{
    InputStream is = null;
    String result;
    try{
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://acolyteserv.appspot.com/Products/getProductMatchedList/?format=json&p0=galaxy&p1=4&p2=all");
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        is = entity.getContent();


        try{
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            String line = null;

            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line + "\n");

            }

            is.close();
            result=sb.toString();


            Toast t=Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
            t.show();
    }catch(Exception e){
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
    }

    }
    catch(Exception e){
        Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
    }


}

If i use this URL the toast, result gives me an empty string, but if I use the example URL like 

http://api.geonames.org/earthquakesJSON?north=44.1&south=-9.9&east=-22.4&west=55.2&username=demo

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here, i'm new to JSON and the whole web service world.

Add your request params to your HttpEntity. Or use HttpGet instead

You are using HttpPost, but not submitting any entity with the request.

Try using HttpGet instead. Given the names of the things in your URL etc, I suspect a GET is what you actually want.
