How to send data to a web server from Android

In the blog reader app tutorial, we learn how to get data in the form of a JSON from a website. Can anyone link me to a resource or tell me how an app can send data to a webserver? I'm trying to make a simple chat app using the things I have learned from this android tutorial.

Hi, I haven't taken the course for Android but in the iOS course we created a Parse.com account for the app and 'sent' data to Parse.com using the Parse API. Depending on the web server you want to send data to, you would need to research how to link your app to that web server, then research the API documentation for the format of the data you will submit.
