Add code to your android application.

Http post should be in a new thread apart of current activity.
// Add a runnable to start your post.
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.feedback_container);
try {
Boolean success = fu.sendFeedback(tv.getText().toString());
// Toast not made in current activity thread should be added to the looper.
Looper.prepare();
if (success) Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.ha, R.string.feedback_success, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
else Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.ha, R.string.feedback_error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Looper.loop();
} catch (Exception e) {
Looper.prepare();
Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.ha, R.string.feedback_error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Looper.loop();
e.printStackTrace();
}

};
Call this in current activity to start your post.
