Based on your comment you are executing request two times but with different methods (execute). You just need one execute in order to make request to server. You are also using response variable as string and as HttpResponse object.

Please try to use code below to make your request, change url with your url

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

HttpResponse hResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
StatusLine sl = hResponse.getStatusLine();
int statusCode = sl.getStatusCode();

if ( statusCode == 200 ){
    HttpEntity hp = hResponse.getEntity();
    InputStream content = hp.getContent();
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

    String line;
    while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
        builder.append(line);
    }

    String responseBody = builder.toString();

    System.out.println("Response : " + responseBody); 
}
