Sending POST data in Android

Question

I'm experienced with PHP, JavaScript and a lot of other scripting languages, but I don't have a lot of experience with Java or Android.

I'm looking for a way to send POST data to a PHP script and display the result

public class CallAPI extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

        public CallAPI(){
            //set context variables if required
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

         @Override
         protected void doInBackground(String... params) {
            String urlString = params[0]; // URL to call
            String data = params[1]; //data to post
            OutputStream out = null;

try {
                URL url = new URL(urlString);
                HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                out = new BufferedOutputStream(urlConnection.getOutputStream());

                BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"));
                writer.write(data);
                writer.flush();
                writer.close();
                out.close();

                urlConnection.connect();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }
