You can try android-ws-client [http://code.google.com/p/android-ws-client/](http://code.google.com/p/android-ws-client/) – Mohammed Subhi Sheikh Quroush Dec 25 '12 at 16:42

Is your WS SOAP based or RESTful?

A quick check would be to see if responses are SOAP messages(XML tags containing

Okay, no SOAP. So i cant use kSoap2 library? Can i get soap messages instead of only xml? – JavaNewb Feb 22 '11 at 14:23

why would you want to do that? Connect to the remote server using DefaultHTTPClient and parse the response XML using XML Pull parser. – Samuh Feb 22 '11 at 15:04

Are you communicating via formatted URLS, or if you're testing in VS, are you doing it by going into VS and saying "Import Web Service"...something like that. If the former its probably some REST variant, if the latter, then probably SOAP. If it is soap you shouldn't have to access the XML at all, VS should generate code to marshal everything to objects in the language of your choice. – mezmo Feb 22 '11 at 15:06
