I am creating a program for Android mobiles which will query, retrieve and then process OData from an OData provider via a webservice.

Please can you tell me which toolkit is best for this? I have seen these:

Thanks.

    No, this is the right place (see http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/hello-stack-overflow.html). android.stackexchange.com seems to be for generic Android questions, there aren't many (any?) programming questions on there. Thanks. – Techboy Oct 08 '10 at 16:59

Restlet is very straightforward, although the performance is not the best. Check this article: Accessing oData from Android using Restlet.

odata4j might be more performant according to this answer.

Hey, I have been using restlet, it's extremely slow! I think it wouldn't be so difficult for you to write a parser yourself, there are many XML or JSON available nowadays. And consume an Odata service only needs a simple Apache Client!
