I've been searching the web for a way to do this for about a week now,
and I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'm trying to implement an app that my college can use to allow users
to log in to various services on the campus with ease. The way it
works currently is they go to an online portal, select which service
they want, fill in their user name and pwd, and click login. The form
data is sent via post (it includes several hidden values as well as
just the user name and pwd) to the corresponding login script which
then signs them in and loads the service.

I've been trying to come at the problem in two ways. I first tried a
WebView, but it doesn't seem to want to support all of the html that
normally makes this form work. I get all of the elements I need,
fields for user and pwd as well as a login button, but clicking the
button doesn't do anything. I wondered if I needed to add an onclick
handler for it, but I can't see how as the button is implemented in
the html of the webview not using a separate android element.

The other possibility was using the xml widgets to create the form in
a nice relative layout, which seems to load faster and looks better on
the android screen. I used EditText fields for the input, a spinner
widget for the service select, and the button widget for the login. I
know how to make the onclick and item select handlers for the button
and spinner, respectively, but I can't figure out how to send that
data via POST in an intent that would then launch a browser. I can do
an intent with the action url, but can't get the POST data to feed
into it.

Anyone have any suggestions?
