Android unable to add getByName

Question

First if you will use AsyncHttpClient then you do not need AsyncTask but if you will use HttpClient then you need AsyncTask task. the below code is part from working code to execute get and post requests. Modify it as your need

    @Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
    backGroundExecuted = false;
    Log.d("doInBackground", "Start processing doInBackground");     

    HttpClient httpClient = null;
    HttpPost httpPost = null;
    HttpGet httpGet = null;


     if (httpMethodType == null || url == null) {
         Log.d("doInBackground" , "The URL and Method Type is mandatory, cannot be null - httpMethodType =" + httpMethodType + " and url =" + url);
         this.getApiResponse().setSuccess(false);
         this.getApiResponse().setResponseCode(HttpResponseCode.BAD_REQUEST);
         this.getApiResponse().setResponseDescription("The URL and Method Type is mandatory, cannot be null");
         return null;
     }

    try {

         //set timeout
         HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
         HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, TIME_OUT);
         HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, SOCKET_TIME_OUT);

         httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
         HttpResponse httpResponse = null;

        if (httpMethodType.equals(HTTPMethodType.POST.toString())) {
            httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
            //setting json object to request.
            if (postParams != null) {
                AbstractHttpEntity entity = null;
                entity = new ByteArrayEntity(postParams.getBytes("UTF8"));
                if (httpContentType != null) {
                    entity.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, httpContentType));
                }
                httpPost.setEntity(entity);
            }
            httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

        } else  if (httpMethodType.equals(HTTPMethodType.GET.toString()) || httpMethodType.equals(HTTPMethodType.PUT.toString())) {
            if (queryParams != null) {
                url = url + "?" + URLEncodedUtils.format(queryParams, "utf-8");
                Log.d(TAG ,"new URL :" + url);
            }
            httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
            httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet); 
        }

        this.getApiResponse().setResponseCode(httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
        this.getApiResponse().setResponseDescription(httpResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());
         if (this.getApiResponse().getResponseCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK) { 
             this.getApiResponse().setSuccess(false);
             Log.w(getClass().getSimpleName(), 
                 "Error " + this.getApiResponse().getResponseCode() + " for URL " + url); 
             Log.w(getClass().getSimpleName(), 
                     "Error " +  this.getApiResponse().getResponseDescription() + " for URL " + url);
          }

         Log.d("doInBackground", "The API call executed and will check the response");
         HttpEntity entityResp = httpResponse.getEntity();
         if (entityResp != null) {
             this.getApiResponse().setResponse(appHelper.getStringFromInputStream(entityResp.getContent()));
             Log.d("doInBackground","The response is :" + this.getApiResponse().getResponse());
             this.getApiResponse().setSuccess(true);
         }

     } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) {
         Log.e("doInBackground","Exception :" + e1.toString());
         this.getApiResponse().setSuccess(false);
         this.getApiResponse().setResponseCode(HttpResponseCode.BAD_REQUEST);
         this.getApiResponse().setResponseDescription("Exception :" + e1.toString());
            Log.e("doInBackground","Exception :" + e1.toString());
            e1.printStackTrace();

         if (httpPost != null && !httpPost.isAborted()) {

         }
     } finally {

         }
         backGroundExecuted = true;

     }
    return null;
