I have created a Rest Web service using Jersey in a Java EE app. And I was able to create the client in a java app as well. I worked fine.
I'm now trying to consume my Web Service, but this time using Android.
I understood that Jersey libraries are not android oriented (Is that even true ? Please confirm this information ) and I read that Restlet is an alternative to build the Android Client.
How is that possible ? do you have any tutorials or documentation I can read for this purpose ?
"I understood that Jersey libraries are not android oriented (Is that even true ? Please confirm this information )"
This is pretty obvious. If you do the search on the jersey site, nothing shows up.
Also, it's pretty hard to find tutorial about Restlet on Android. I think you have to adapt from Java version. Personally, I use a plain http client to do REST stuff. (I think many people also do that.)
Regarding Restlet, you might find these useful:

These questions are very helpful if you change your mind and want to do it without a framework.
