hi gouri,
try it this way:
URL url = new URL();
String strInEnc = URLEncoder.encode("inp")
+ "=" + URLEncoder.encode();
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
uc.setDoOutput(true);
uc.setDoInput(true);
uc.setUseCaches(false);

uc.setRequestProperty("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(uc.getOutputStream());
dos.writeBytes(strInEnc);
dos.flush();
dos.close();

InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream());
int chr = in.read();
while (chr != -1) {
taResults.append(String.valueOf((char) chr));
chr = in.read();
}
in.close();
