Android KSoap2 Webservice use problem

Question

I am using following code to webservice using Ksoap2

package com.google.android.myWebService;

import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpsTransportSE;
//import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransport;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class myWebService extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.webservicex.net/GetWeatherByPlaceName";
    private static final String METHOD_NAME = "GetWeatherByPlaceName";
    private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://www.webservicex.net";
    private static final String URL = "http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?WSDL";
    private Object resultsRequestSOAP = null;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        setContentView(tv);

        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

        // SoapObject
        request.addProperty("PlaceName", "new york");
        //request.addProperty("lastname", "Williams");
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        Log.d(null,"Status : set HttpTransport");


        HttpsTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpsTransportSE(URL, 443, "", 5000);
        try {
            Log.d(null,"Status : b4 Call");
            androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
            Log.d(null,"Status : Call done");
            resultsRequestSOAP = envelope.getResponse();
            Log.d(null,"Status : Response received");
            String[] results = (String[]) resultsRequestSOAP;
            tv.setText(results[0]);
        } catch (Exception aE) {
            //aE.printStackTrace();
            Log.d(null,"Exception: " + aE);
        }
    }
}

but it is giving following output in the logcat:

What is the problem in my code?

Answer 1

It is not an error but just warning about kxml2 and xmlpull classes verification.

You are imported ksoap2.jar library for your project to make build. But ksoap2.jar library has a kxml2 and xmlpull jars inside. And these jars already included in Android OS. Therefore DexOpt utility cant verify libraries from your apk binary. Dont worry about it. OS just will use its own kxml2 and xmlpull libraries but not yours.

Answer 2

There are a couple of answers to this question already here. The second link might be your answer if ksoap2 is still sensitive to trailing slashes.

Answer 3

That's a .Net webservice, you need to set

envelope.dotNet = true;

before executing the request.
