Blackberry: Post Data Using JSON Object

We can post the data by the JSON format. 

For this first,

1. We have to take all the keys and values in One Hash table or Array of Hash tables(Vector)

2. Convert it into JSON object.

3. Send to server.

        System.out.println("======================\n\n"+responseString+"\n\n===================");

        //Do what you want.        

    }

}

and the method for Utility.escapeHTML(url) is:

public static String escapeHTML(String s)
{
               StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
               int n = s.length();
               for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                     char c = s.charAt(i);
                      switch (c) {
                                           case ‘ ‘: sb.append(“%20″); break;
                                         default: sb.append(c); break;
                     }
             }
            return sb.toString();
}
