How to get data from SOAP web service as object contains array of values

Here we shall see how to get data from SOAP web service when the response is returned as an object in XML format. When the response is object you have to create a bean class and retrieve the data. When you get single values for each variable use this post.

And when you get single value for variables (Eg. Name= yashwanth; Age=25; place=Hosur) Check this link.

Step 1 : Create a new project in Eclipse IDE File ⇒ New ⇒ Android Application Project and fill all the required details.

Step 2 : In your layout file place some text fields and align is as required.

Activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/tl1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tabrow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:text="@string/Id"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#f2c21b" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/Name"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#f2c21b" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/Place"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#f2c21b" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/District"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#f2c21b" />

</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-100dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical" >

<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/tl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>

Step 3 : Add Internet Permission in your project manifest file .

AndroidManifest.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exam.webservice2"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.exam.webservice2.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Step 4 : Include the KSOAP2 jar file in to your project. Right click project ⇒ Properties ⇒ Java build path ⇒ Libraries Tab ⇒ Add External Jars ⇒ browse and add KSOAP2  jar file you can find it Here.

Step 5 : Now crate a new class in your existing package and name that class as Bean. Now paste the below code in your bean class file.

Bean.java :

package com.exam.webservice2;

import java.util.Hashtable;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.KvmSerializable;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.PropertyInfo;

public class Bean implements KvmSerializable
{
public String Id;
public String Name;
public String Place;
public String District;

public Bean(){}

public Bean(String Id,String Name, String Place,String District)
{
this.Id = Id;
this.Name=Name;
this.Place=Place;
this.District=District;
}

public Object getProperty(int arg0) {

switch(arg0)
{
case 0:
return Id;
case 1:
return Name;
case 2:
return Place;
case 3:
return District;
}
return null;
}

public int getPropertyCount() {
return 4;
}

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public void getPropertyInfo(int index, Hashtable arg1, PropertyInfo info) {
switch(index)
{
case 0:
info.type = PropertyInfo.STRING_CLASS;
info.name = "Id";
break;
case 1:
info.type = PropertyInfo.STRING_CLASS;
info.name = "Name";
break;
case 2:
info.type = PropertyInfo.STRING_CLASS;
info.name = "Place";
break;
case 3:
info.type = PropertyInfo.STRING_CLASS;
info.name = "District";
break;

default:
break;
}
}

public void setProperty(int index, Object value) {
switch(index)
{
case 0:
Id = value.toString();
break;
case 1:
Name = value.toString();
break;
case 2:
Place = value.toString();
break;
case 3:
District = value.toString();
break;

default:
break;
}
}
}

Step 6 : Now call the web service and get details with asynctask. Paste this below code in your MainActivity class file.

MainActivity.java :

package com.exam.webservice2;

import java.net.ConnectException;
import java.net.SocketTimeoutException;
import java.util.Arrays;

import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.PropertyInfo;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE;

import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TableLayout;
import android.widget.TableRow;
import android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
