Below is my code snap shot for connecting to webDav server

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpConnectionManagerParams;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class webDavClient extends Activity {

    MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager manager;
    HostConfiguration config;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

        btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //webDav host configuration
                ConfigureHost();
                 //webDav client configuration
                 ConfigureClient();             
            }
        });
    }

    public void ConfigureHost() {
        //create host configuration
        HostConfiguration config = new HostConfiguration();
        config.setHost("http://webdav.in.soti.net");

        //setup connection manager
        manager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
        HttpConnectionManagerParams params = new HttpConnectionManagerParams();
        params.setMaxConnectionsPerHost(config, 5); // currently allowing 5 we may revise count afterwards

    }

    public void ConfigureClient() {
        //create client configuration
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient(manager);
        client.setHostConfiguration(config);
        Credentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password");
        client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, creds);
    }
