How to develop an App that uses WSDL

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hello Forum,

some months before I have developed some .net Clients for Windows. Some functions are using web services. The only thing I had to do was to add the wsdl file to the Visual Studio as a Web Reference. The Visual Studio parses the files and shows in the auto complete dropdown menus all classes and functions that were available. Now I want to develop an Android App that uses the same web Service. I have looked into the internet and found some complicated tutorials. For example this:
http://www.compiletimeerror.com/2013/09/accessing-web-service-from-android.html#.VwenHHqoPKd

Some days before I thought my work would be similar easy with the Android Studio like in the Visual Studio. But now I'm a little bit diasppointed. Is it right that I have to extract the functions and parameters out of the wsdl file by myself? There is no nice class generator?


Thanks

Peter

Few people use SOAP APIs from mobile devices, so comparatively little effort has gone into easy-to-use tooling. If you have a choice in the matter, consider using a REST API instead.

And the article is right, http://simpligility.github.io/ksoap2-android/ is pretty much the only SOAP library in existence for Android.

The performance is not the primary target and I'm no WebDev. So I will proceed with this way.

Thanks Tim
