Hi guys!

I've been watching around and playing with the webservice possiblities i found, KSOAP and creating my own SOAP message. Now is my question, which one do you guys use or prefer?
I prefer using the handmade version, since you parse the result with the XML parser and make a list that way with all the returns while KSOAP doesn't handle objects returned that well. As far as I know you get 1 big string back and you still need to parse it after if you want to with KSOAP.

Hi,

you should try to search on the internet for XFire and Maven for creating a webservice.

XFire handles that your POJO's can become webservices.
Maven helps you with making a proper project lay-out. This includes giving you all the neccesary files and directories.

For calling the webservice in your Android app you have different options, which 2 of them are the earlier mentioned ones.
KSOAP -> http://groups.google.com/group/android- ... 7d612a6b5/
XML Parser -> Google search: Android Webservice SOAP XML Parser

Sorry that I can't point any direct links for you, but I don't have any tutorials of these since I still know how to work with them
