Use AndroidHttpClient Instead of DefaultHttpClient

HTTP client for Android providing both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous interfaces so it can be used on or off the UI thread.

Sample usage:

**********************

Synchronous (for use off the UI thread in an AsyncTask or Runnable)

AndroidHttpClient httpClient = new AndroidHttpClient("http://www.google.com");
    ParameterMap params = httpClient.newParams().add("q", "GOOG");
    HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.get("/finance", params);
    System.out.println(httpResponse.getBodyAsString());
 

**********************

Asynchronous (can be used anywhere, automatically wraps in an AsyncTask)

AndroidHttpClient httpClient = new AndroidHttpClient("http://www.google.com");
    ParameterMap params = httpClient.newParams().add("q", "GOOG");
    httpClient.setMaxRetries(3);
    httpClient.get("/finance", params, new AsyncCallback() {
        public void onComplete(HttpResponse httpResponse) {
            System.out.println(httpResponse.getBodyAsString());
        }
        public void onError(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    });
