If I understand your question well, on Android, you can use

Uri uri=Uri.parse(url_as_string);
uri.getQueryParameter("param1");

or the Apache libraries provide a Query parser:

http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/client/utils/URLEncodedUtils.html and http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/client/utils/URLEncodedUtils.html

The method parse() returns a list of NameValuePairs as built from the URI's query portion.

If you want to convert parameters to a uri, use Uri.Builder:

Uri.Builder uri = new Uri.Builder().scheme("http").
        authority("test.com").
        path("theservlet").
        appendQueryParameter("q", theQuery);
