Help Please !

you'll have to send a request to your server through HTTP/s. Similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2938502/sending-post-data-in-android — blejzz, Mar 29 '12 at 11:52
[Google is your friend](https://www.google.pt/search?q=java+http+post). http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.net/post.html In this example `key1`, `key2`, `keyn` would map to your PHP `$_POST` fields. — Telmo Marques, Mar 29 '12 at 11:55

Here it is:

    public static void sendData(String name, String to, String from, String subject, String message)
    {
        String content = "";

        try
        {               
            /* Sends data through a HTTP POST request */
            DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://your.website.com");
            List <NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", name));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("to", to));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("from", from));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("subject", subject));
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("message", message));
            httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, HTTP.UTF_8));

            /* Reads the server response */
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
            InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();

            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
            int chr;
            while ((chr = in.read()) != -1)
            {
                sb.append((char) chr);
            }
            content = sb.toString();
            in.close();

            /* If there is a response, display it */
            if (!content.equals(""))
            {
                Log.i("HTTP Response", content);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

str = str.replaceAll("(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)", "
"); – Manitoba Oct 07 '15 at 08:55 — Manitoba, Oct 07 '15 at 08:55

Either you have to load web view or write a web service and pass the parameters as JSON.
