You should modify the user agent String ( to make it appear coming from a desktop browser ) Refer to link below :

You need to set Your user agent like that.

 String ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/20100101          
 Firefox/4.0";

    mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString(ua);

This will help:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
        String userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0";

        try {
            httppost.setHeader("User-Agent", userAgent);
            // Add your data

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