how do I get a string from my http response android?

I've seen some really ugly looking code from people writing up their own methods of converting an HttpResponse to a string to use later, that looks something like this: ``` httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(valuePairs)); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); InputStream is = entity.getContent(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF8"),8); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n"); String line="0"; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line + "\n"); } is.close(); String result = sb.toString(); ``` not only is that somewhat of a mess, but it's really ugly and I often times can't tell what's going on with the code because this mess precedes it. Is there any better way to do this?
