Calling PHP File in Java via URL

Question

I'm trying to develop an android app that calls a php file to query and pull data from a database. The URL is accesible on my mobile phone on the web browser, but I can't seem to call it from my java code below. Could anyone assist me in calling my PHP file from my Java code.

            URL url = new URL("http://10.0.3.2/MYCODE/app/login.php");
            String urlParams = "name="+name+"&password="+password;

            HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
            OutputStream os = httpURLConnection.getOutputStream();
            os.write(urlParams.getBytes());
            os.flush();
            os.close();

            InputStream is = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
            while((tmp=is.read())!=-1){
                data+= (char)tmp;
            }

            is.close();
            httpURLConnection.disconnect();

I get the following error: java.io.FileNotFoundException:

I'm using the POST method because it's more secure.

If it's GET method then we can use the below lines of code and the issue with your calling file might be your .php file path is incorrect

    //Integrating url with values [Starts]
    Map<String, String> request = new HashMap<String, String>();
    request.put("name", name);
    request.put("password", password);
    Uri.Builder uriBuilder = new Uri.Builder();
    uriBuilder.encodedPath("http://10.0.3.2/MYCODE/app/login.php");
    if (mapOfStrings != null) {
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : request.entrySet()) {
            Log.d("buildSanitizedRequest", "key: " + entry.getKey()
                    + " value: " + entry.getValue());
            uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(entry.getKey(),
                    entry.getValue());
        }
    }
    String uriString;
    try {
        uriString = uriBuilder.build().toString(); // May throw an
                                                   // UnsupportedOperationException
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Exception", "Exception" + e);
    }
    //Integrating url with values [Ends]
    HttpURLConnection connection = null;
    try {
        URL url = new URLuriBuilder.build().toString());
        connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "utf-8,*");
        Log.d("Get-Request", url.toString());
        try {
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            String line;
            while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                stringBuilder.append(line).append("\n");
            }
            bufferedReader.close();
            Log.d("Get-Response", stringBuilder.toString());
            return new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
        } finally {
            connection.disconnect();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("ERROR", e.getMessage(), e);
        return null;
    }`

Please ensure the following 2 lines in Manifest and WIFI is enabled and connected to subnet 10.0.3.x

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

If post method is get, where is "?" in your URL?
