Body
I have a .NET WCF service (not a web service) with many methods, some accepting and returning complex data types. I use these services from my Windows Phone 7 apps. It all works great and it's easy. Now I'm evaluating the feasibility of porting some of my apps to Android, but I can't figure out how to invoke my WCF services from an Android client. I have a working example I found in <a href="http://naveenbalani.com/index.php/2011/01/invoke-webservices-from-android/" rel="nofollow">Invoke webservices from Android</a>. But this looks to be accessing a "Web Service", not a WCF Service. My service is at <code>http://www.deanblakely.com/Service2.svc</code>, and it contains a simple method named "SimpleTest" that just returns the string "Alive". Using the code in the linked article, I put <code>http://www.deanblakely.com/Service2.svc</code> in SOAP_ADDRESS and SimpleTest in OPERATION_NAME. But I have no idea what to put in SOAP_ACTION and WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE. I don't even know if this approach is valid. In .NET, Visual Studio builds us a "Service Reference" and everything just works. I also don't understand the following two lines of code... <pre><code>httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); Object response = envelope.getResponse(); </code></pre> With WCF services, the call is async so we make the call to SimpleTestAsync and leave a callback for the async return. These two lines of code appear to be synchronous, no?

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.
