How to use KSOAP2 with Google APIs?

I want to parse Google places API using KSOAP2. Is it possible to use KSOAP2 in Google APIs i.e. Google Places API? If yes please post some examples. If no, then is there any other alternate of KSOAP2 for Google APIs.

Solution

  • The recommended format for Google Places API is JSON. KSOAP2 isn't a good library, btw.
    To parse json you can use json.org library which is included in Android or something more sophisticated like Jackson.

    There is a quite long tutorial how to work with Places and which library to use with it:
