Android Question Logging Into A Webpage

[code4fun]

Hi, I need to log into a web page as i would in my desktop. The webpage contains a forum which is only accessible to registered users and i need to be able to read it from my android. I have found the bit that handles the user login from the page's source but i can't create the right POST with HttpUtils2. I cannot post the webpage url but here's the code that matters (i believe):

<!-- Form login -->   
        <div id="btl-content-login" class="btl-content-block">
                       
            <!-- if not integrated any component -->
                        <form name="btl-formlogin" class="btl-formlogin" action="/" method="post">
                <div id="btl-login-in-process"></div>   
                <h3>Login to your account</h3>
                                    <div class="spacer"></div>
                                <div class="btl-error" id="btl-login-error"></div>
                <div class="btl-field">
                    <div class="btl-label">Username *</div>
                    <div class="btl-input">
                        <input id="btl-input-username" type="text" name="username"    />
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="btl-field">
                    <div class="btl-label">Password *</div>
                    <div class="btl-input">
                        <input id="btl-input-password" type="password" name="password" alt="password" />
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <div class="btl-field">               
                   
                    <div class="btl-input" id="btl-input-remember">
                        <input id="btl-checkbox-remember"  type="checkbox" name="remember"
                            value="yes" />
                            Remember Me                    </div>   
                </div>
                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <div class="btl-buttonsubmit">
                    <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="btl-buttonsubmit" onclick="return loginAjax()" value="Σύνδεση" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="task" value="user.login" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="return" id="btl-return"    value="aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0xMjQ=" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="d103917b31d6c557373b1661d4270741" value="1" />                </div>
            </form>

Thanks in advance

Monitor the network requests with the browser developer tools. This will help you with understanding the required request.

Okay i got the POST request with firebug (attached image below).

How should i code the request with httputils2?

I think you should use a multipartpost request (see my signature for multipart file upload and ignore the definitions of files in it)
use the key values to give the username, password and so on

This is not a multipart request. It is a simple POST request with all the parameters (similar to GET requests). The question which you will need to investigate is where do these parameters come from.
