    <p>This is just my opinion, but for question #1, I would recommend just deleting the current records in the DB and then re-insert them upon a successful web call. With the later suggestion, you would have to create a function to loop through all of the current values in the DB, see if they match the new collection (I assume you would have some sort of primary key to make the connection) and then update / remove / add values to your DB which could possibly be numerous calls to your DB unless you create some generic update statement where you build the 'SET / WHERE' clause dynamically as a string and then run the query once.</p> <p>Either way, from an efficiency standpoint, running just a delete and insert query versus a complex matching function plus multiple update / add / delete queries seems the best way to go, again in my opinion.</p> <p>For question #2, you have to build the XML in your code and then post it like these examples:</p> <p><a href="http://www.smnirven.com/?p=15" rel="nofollow">Android Post Example</a></p> <p><a href="http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/how-to-do-a-restful-post-call/" rel="nofollow">Another Example</a></p> <p>Or, you could just pass your values via the URL string and then let the server extract those values.</p> <p>For example:</p> <p><code>http://www.example.com/MyWebService.asmx/AddReferrer?variable1=foo&amp;variable2=bar&amp;variable1=foo2&amp;variable2=bar2</code></p> <p>In that example I'm assuming the server is a .net server. In .net I can basically create an array of all of the values for <code>variable1</code> and then loop through them and add them server side to a DB for example.</p> <pre><code>[WebMethod] public string AddReferrer(string[] variable1, string[] variable2) { </code></pre> <p>Hope this helped!</p>

    1. COThanks. I think we agree on #1. It's much faster and easier to just purge the existing records and re-insert. As for #2, the REST API I'm talking with requires a JSON object in the request. That's no problem, just an FYI that it's not .NET. The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if I should just make some sort of async call to the REST post, then make the ContentProvider refresh its "get" to pull down the new record so that local storage gets updated. I'm open to any more thoughts as well.

    2. COIs there any way to modify the `AddRefferer` to return a response similar to the `GetRefferer`? Or, are these web methods a third-party web service that you can not modify?.. because if you can get the `AddReferrer` to send back a response that is identical to the "get" method, it would eliminate the need to have two async web calls, which on mobile devices would be preferable as you may have many users who may have poor network connections.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
