I just finished a huge project for school using the Google Android OS. The biggest hurdle I had to jump through we getting android to successfully talk to web services. I have put together a set of classes and procedures to do so that make it easy and reliable. I have taken some code from here and there and adapted my own. It was a while ago so I don’t recall where I found it all. For this example I am going to be using the web service http://www.sumasoftware.com/alerts/GetAlerts.php to read the alerts.
The first thing you’ll need to download and add to your project is the google GSON libraryhttp://code.google.com/p/google-gson/downloads/list
Download the following WebService.java class in order to interact with the web service and add it to your project
