Volley
networking library is the best which provides the concurrent request initiation and cancellation features. It has also documentation on https://developer.android.com/training/volley.
Further information on which library is best. Please go through the following links

- http://instructure.github.io/blog/2013/12/09/volley-vs-retrofit/
- Comparison of Android networking libraries: OkHTTP, Retrofit, and Volley
Hope this helps.

You can follow the example for Create a weather app on android where they take you through the steps of creating a client for a REST API.
