A simple Example to use this class :

RestClient client = new RestClient("http://www.example.com/demo.php");  //Write your url here
        client.addParam("Name", "Bhavit"); //Here I am adding key-value parameters
        client.addParam("Age", "23");

        client.addHeader("content-type", "application/json"); // Here I am specifying that the key-value pairs are sent in the JSON format

        try {
            String response = client.executePost(); // In case your server sends any response back, it will be saved in this response string.

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
