If you do not want to use third party libraries, you can just use HttpUrlConnection class which is a pure Java Library. On the other hand there are some third party which are very easy and clear to send and receive requests such as Volley and Retrofit etc.

It is your decision to use whatever you like. I would recommend you to use Volley, because it is a framework of Google.

  • Read json file and append the readed string as parameter to post request. If it is not working checkout uploading file example. http://androidexample.com/Upload_File_To_Server_-_Android_Example/index.php?view=article_discription&aid=83 – Abdullah Tellioglu Jun 30 '17 at 07:38

You can use http://square.github.io/okhttp/ to send or receive data from the server. Tutorial available in http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JavaLibrary-OkHttp/article.html, Hope this may help you..
