    Write a service that runs in the background and polls the server for data (use an AsyncTask or some sort of thread to perform the query asynchronously). When data is received from the server, insert it into a local database (a ContentProvider backed by an SQLiteDatabase, for example). Then have the Activity query the local database whenever it needs new data. The advantage here is that you will still be able to display data even when your device is offline… the local database acts as a cache that holds previously-queried data.
