How do we consume a web service in Android?

Courses Plus Student 6,573 PointsYou should do the android blog reader application course, it shows you how to do this.
The process is essentially to first define what type of web service? Is it SOAP or RESTful. If it's RESTful then you can simply request the JSON URL web service endpoint, download the data, set it as a JSON object, and then process the data. A SOAP service would be more involved as you would need to create a valid SOAP request using a SOAP api and generally SOAP is a lot more involved then using a RESTful web service.
