android - javax.net.ssl.sslpeerunverifiedexception no peer certificate

Question

I am trying to insert a record into MySQL by posting data to a PHP server from an Android app. I have added the INTERNET permission to AndroidManifest.xml

I get javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No peer certificate

Android code

private void senddata(ArrayList<NameValuePair> data)
{
    try 
    {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://10.0.2.2/insert222.php");
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(data));
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        Log.e("log_tag", "Error:  "+e.toString());
    }
}

Can anyone help?

Warning: Do not implement this in production code you are ever going to use on a network you do not entirely trust. Especially anything going over the public internet. This link gives more correct answer. Here is an implementation using SSL.

Your problem is you are using DefaultHttpClient for https(secure url).
Create a custom DefaultHttpClient

public static HttpClient createHttpClient()
{
    HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
    HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
    HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params, HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET);
    HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(params, true);

    SchemeRegistry schReg = new SchemeRegistry();
    schReg.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
    schReg.register(new Scheme("https", SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443));
    ClientConnectionManager conMgr = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, schReg);

    return new DefaultHttpClient(conMgr, params);
}

Than change your code as follows:

        HttpClient httpclient = createHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://10.0.2.2/insert222.php");
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(data));
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

It should work.
