Calling webservice from android application without Ksoap

What would be best and simplest way to call Yahoo weather webservice/any json webservice in android? Some people s开发者_StackOverflow社区uggest not to use Ksoap for mobile application instead use Restful or Json webservice.

TIA Bhaskar

In short, use HttpClient, HttpGet, and JSONObject

Without any more details, this is probably similar to what you are attempting: http://www.josecgomez.com/2010/04/30/android-accessing-restfull-web-services-using-json/

Here's another post where this is discussed:

How to call a SOAP web service on Android

If you really want to be simple, just embed the content of the message in a HttpClient (included with Android by default) and manually parse the result.

Here (http://breaking-catch22.com/?p=127) is a link to an example of calling a REST web service.

Have a look at how Google APIs Client Library for Java does it, for example in this YouTube sample using HttpTransport and JSON:
