title: How to access a web content (POST/GET) in an Android application?
body: <p>My requirement is very much similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4796916/acessing-the-web-from-android-application">this question</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I will be having a login Activity in my android app and when the user enters data and clicks login, I have to hit my website, authenticates users, get the result back and guide the user further based on login success or not.</p>
  
  <p>Here are my questions. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>what are the options for me to implement the above in android? How can I POST data and get results back in my Activity?</li>
  <li>If WebViews are used, can this be simplified?</li>
  </ol>
