Unable to get User Profile from google using google apis in android

Question

I am trying to integrate google in my android app. I am using oauth for retriving request token, access token. I want User's FirstName, LastName, ScreenName, Email. Here is what I am trying to do,

public static final String CLIENT_ID = "XXXX";
public static final String CLIENT_SECRET = "XXXX";
private static final String SCOPE = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile";
public static final String REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = "https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken";
public static final String ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = "https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken";
public static final String AUTHORIZE_URL = "https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken";

I get connected to google asking to grant access for profile information. User grants the access, comes back to my application. Now I am trying to do this,

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String strUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json";
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(strUrl);

to get the user's profile. But In response I get only

{

No data. I tried a lot to get the user profile. Plz do tell me where I am doing wrong. Any links, sample code will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try using an HttpGet instead of HttpPost. The request needs to be a GET request for the resource, not a POST request.
