Pass An Array To A Soap Web Service For Inserting Into Remote Database

I want to pass an array from my Android application to my SOAP webservice using the ksoap libraries available. My array looks like this: String[] values={'abc','def'}; How to pass

Solution 1:

This is the sample code for reading SOAP web service, Hope this will help you,

privatestaticStringSOAP_ACTION="http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld";

privatestaticStringNAMESPACE="http://tempuri.org/";
privatestaticStringMETHOD_NAME="HelloWorld";

privatestaticStringURL="http://bimbim.in/Sample/TestService.asmx?WSDL";

/** Called when the activity is first created. */@OverridepublicvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    //Initialize soap request + add parametersSoapObjectrequest=newSoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);        

    //Use this to add parameters
    request.addProperty("Parameter","Value");

    //Declare the version of the SOAP requestSoapSerializationEnvelopeenvelope=newSoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

    //Needed to make the internet callHttpTransportSEandroidHttpTransport=newHttpTransportSE(URL);
    try {
        //this is the actual part that will call the webservice
        androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    // Get the SoapResult from the envelope body.SoapObjectresult= (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;

    if(result != null){
        TextViewt= (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.resultbox);

        //Get the first property and change the label text
        t.setText("SOAP response:\n\n" + result.getProperty(0).toString());
    }

}

EDIT:

It is a known issue with the KSOAP2 for Android library, which at the moment simply does not support arrays. The issue description is here:

http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/issues/detail?id=19

A third-party patch, solution and an example can be found here:

Look on these link, You can find your answer on that.

Thanks.

Solution 2:

Serialize to JSON or XML, send that JSON or XML to the server, decode that JSON or XML on the server. Not sure about the exact methods you would use in your case.
