Android: post to a password protected server

Question

I am trying to send information from my Android device to my php server. I followed this tutorial (http://www.codeofaninja.com/2013/04/android-http-client.html), but then realized there is nowhere to specify my useID and password to log into the server. a lot of search but could not get anywhere. I am new to both Android and Apache. Please advice, thanks.

Answer 1
