KSOAP2 attributes

[João Cruz]

Hi, 

My name is João and i'm working at a project that involves webservices using Android. I'm currently using KSOAP2 for that but i came to a point i don't know what to do:

Is there any way to create a request property with some attributes? I'm able to create a custom property, but don't know how to add the attribute.

Ex:

<PropertyWhatEver>
<MyCustomProperty attr = " something">
<Name> string </Name>
</MyCustomProperty>
</PropertyWhatEver>

How to add the attribute?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

João Cruz

A property refers to a line such as this:

<Name>string</Name>

What you want to do is embed SoapObjects inside of your initial SoapObject.

An example of this can be found here, on the ksoap2-android google code site.

No, i'm talking about adding attribute values to a property. In my
example:

<PropertyWhatEver>
<MyCustomProperty attr = " something"> <--------- attribute
something. want to add this to the "MyCustomProperty".

<Name> string </Name>
</MyCustomProperty>
</PropertyWhatEver>

btw, "MyCustomProperty" extends Kvmserielizable. Only missing the
attribute thing... :(

SoapObject propertyWhatEver = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "PropertyWhatEver");

SoapObject myCustomProperty = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "MyCustomProperty");

myCustomProperty.addAttribute("attr", "something");

myCustomProperty.addProperty("Name", "string");

propertyWhatEver.addSoapObject(myCustomProperty);

As you can see here at the documentation, the method addAttribute is
not defined :S

[Andrew Oppenlander]

This documentation seems to be out of date.

SoapObject extends AttributeContainer, which is where the addAttribute function comes from.

I downloaded the latest version of the KSOAP2, and my class SoapObject
doesn't have the "addProperty" method. Even the class
AttributeContainer is not available.

I tried 2 libraries from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ksoap2/:
ksoap2-j2me-core-2.-2.1.2.jar
ksoap2-j2se-full-2.1.2.jar

and same thing on both. Is there a version with that implementation of
SoapObject that extends attributeContainer?

This is not the latest version.

The project homepage is located at http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/

Here is a link to the latest version.

Okey, found the problem. I actually had an older version of KSOAP2.
I've downloaded the newer one and it's now working.
Thank you for your patience.

PS: just an advice, if you or the developers own this site
http://ksoap2.sourceforge.net/
please put a note there that it is outdated and there is a new version
of the lib.

Best regards,
João Cruz

We dont have any control over the ksoap2 project on sourceforge and it is pretty quiet there.. thats why this project and mailing list exists. I added a remark about this to the top pinned post on the list here.

Similar stuff is already on the web site.
