How to connect a web-service (PUT-method) from Android via restlet

Question

I have a web-service:

@Path("/")
@RequestScoped
public class RegistrationService implements Serializable {

    @Inject
    private DeviceService deviceService;

    @PUT
    @Path( "/register/{device}" )
    @Consumes( MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN )
    @Produces( MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN )
    public String device(@PathParam("device") String device) {
        this.deviceService.saveNewDevice(device);
        return "Succesful!";
    }
}

And I have a restlet:

public void sendRegistration() {
    ClientResource resource = new ClientResource(REG_URL);
    resource.addSegment(ctx.getString(R.string.config_segment_register));
    ... (?)
}

So the current URL will be something like http:// host:port/application/ws/register/pathParam

How can I do the PUT-call to the web-service? There are methods to add queryParams and I could do addSegment to append the ID to the path, but somehow I need to do the PUT then.

Due to unfortunately not getting to work (maybe because of too little knowledge about/understanding of the API and processing) the suggestion by @Caleryn, I made some similar solution to https://stackoverflow.com/a/735090/1343241

@Path("/")
@RequestScoped
public class RegistrationService implements Serializable {

    @Inject
    private DeviceService deviceService;

    @PUT
    @Path( "/register" )
    @Consumes( MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED )
    @Produces( MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN )
    public String device(@FormParam("regId") String regId) {
        this.deviceService.saveNewDevice(regId);
        return "Succesful!";
    }
}

And in the restlet:

Form queryParams = resource.getReference().getQueryAsForm();
queryParams.set("regId", regId);
resource.put(queryParams);
