Android set content type HttpPost

Question

How can you change the content-type of a HttpPost in android?

For a request I need to set the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

So i got this bit of code:

httpclient=new DefaultHttpClient();
httppost= new HttpPost(url);
StringEntity se = new StringEntity(""); 
se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
httppost.setEntity(se);

But that doesn't do the trick and I cant find the solution anywhere.

Cheers

            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(builder.getUrl());
            httppost.setHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,
                    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
            // Add your data
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(builder
                    .getNameValuePairs(), "UTF-8"));

            // Execute HTTP Post Request
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

Note: the builder just contains url and namevalue pairs.
