Answer 1

I found solution for my question.

Actually i was not passing the parameters for the project field. The project field was mandatory. :)

Answer 2

Use new version of ksoap2 :( http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/)

private SoapObject getSoapResponse(SoapObject request, String url, String soapAction) {
    Log.d(TAG, "inside getSoapResponse");
    SoapObject response = null;     
    try {           
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.dotNet = false;

        Marshal dateMarshal = new MarshalDate();
        dateMarshal.register(envelope);

        MarshalFloat floatMarshal = new MarshalFloat();
        floatMarshal.register(envelope);

        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);          

        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(url);
        androidHttpTransport.call(soapAction, envelope); 
        response = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;
    } catch (SoapFault sfe) {
        Log.d(TAG, " SoapFault ");
        sfe.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        Log.d(TAG, " IOException ");
        ioe.printStackTrace();
    } catch (XmlPullParserException xppe) {
        Log.d(TAG, " XmlPullParserException ");
        xppe.printStackTrace();
    }

    return response;
}

Also use for request:

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(namespace, method);

PropertyInfo name = new PropertyInfo();
name.setName(RequestInfo.PROPERTY_LOGIN_TYPE);
name.setValue("jhon");
name.setType(String.class);
request.addProperty(name);

PropertyInfo location = new PropertyInfo();
location.setName("Bangalore");
location.setValue(facebookUserName);            
location.setType(String.class);
request.addProperty(location);

SoapObject response = getSoapResponse(request, url, soap_action);

if (response != null) {
    //parse the XML file here.
}
