JSONExceptionwhich is then causing theNullPointerException(and possibly other problems). The empty response problem may be caused by a problem on the server side or in how you are setting up the request.getJSONFromUrlon the line that callshttpClient.execute(httpPost). Then examine the contents of thehttpPostentity and determine exactly what's being sent to the server in the request. (You could also insert a line((UrlEncodedFormEntity) httpPost.getEntity).writeTo(System.out);to see in logcat what's being sent.) If all looks good, then test whether you are indeed receiving the expected response. (I did notice a bug: your reading loop should be appendingline + "\n", notline + "n".)
