I am new t ajax, but quite familiar with android. I am converting a ajax program to android app. As a part of it, i need to post data to the server. Below is the given post command in ajax.

var postTo = 'xyz.php';

$.post(postTo,{employee_name: $('[name=employee_name]').val() , phone: $('[name=phone]').val(), employee_type: 'guest' } ,

function(data) {

if(data.success){

window.localStorage["sa_id"] = data.mid;

window.location="getempdb.html";

}

if(data.message) {

$('#output').html(data.message);

} else {

$('#output').html('Could not connect');

}

},'json');

I want to implement this in android but under very little from the above statements. Could anyone who is good at ajax help me out with this thing. As of now, i get the user name and telephone number as a edit text input. I need to send this to php using http client. I know how to send data using php, but do not know what format to send and whether its a string to send or as a json object to send. Please help in interpreting the above code and oblige.
