Question

am trying to connect to a web service in order to retrieve some data with an android device with ksoap2. i assume that i have make the configuration correct and the result that i get back from the web service is anyType{} the code that i use is the below

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/" ;
private static final String URL = "http://IP/CardiacPortalWS/VitalInfoWS.asmx";
private static final String HelloWorld_SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/getPatient";
private static final String METHOD_NAME1 = "getPatient";

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME1);

    request.addProperty("patientID",8);

    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope =new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    envelope.dotNet = true; 
    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
    AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
    androidHttpTransport.debug=true;
    SoapObject receivedString=null;
    try
    {
       androidHttpTransport.call(HelloWorld_SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
       receivedString = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();
       Log.v("Server", "server data1 "+receivedString.getPropertyCount());
       Log.i("Server", "server data2 "+receivedString.getProperty(0));
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    { }  

The SOAP file is

SOAPAction: “http://tempuri.org/getPatient”

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

  <soap:Body>
    <getPatientResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <getPatientResult>
        <message>string</message>
        <code>int</code>
      </getPatientResult>
      <name>string</name>
      <SID>string</SID>
      <sex>boolean</sex>
      <birthday>dateTime</birthday>
      <nationality>string</nationality>

      <deathReason>string</deathReason>
      <isDead>boolean</isDead>
    </getPatientResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

i assume that the problem is in this line request.addProperty(“patientID”,8); but am not sure. data on the server exist because am able to see them.
i would appreciate some help, an idea or a more detail tutorial

Correct code

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/" ;
private static final String URL = " http://IP/CardiacPortalWS/VitalInfoWS.asmx";
private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/userLogin";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "userLogin";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    try {
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
        request.addProperty("PatientID", "10");
        request.addProperty("Weight", "72");
        String currentDateTimeString = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").
            format(new Date());
        request.addProperty("DateTimeStamp",currentDateTimeString);//"2012-01-13");
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
            SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.dotNet=true;
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
        androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
        Log.i("Server", "server data2 "+((Object)envelope.getResponse()));  
    } catch(Exception e) {
        Log.e("Server", "Error on server "+e.getMessage());
    }
}
