Question

I’m trying to call my Web Service which i created in Google Apple Engine from my Android. While testing I got this error.
org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: expected: START_TAG {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Envelope (position:START_TAG @1:7 in java.io.InputStreamReader@41825db0)
Please help.

Below is my code.

    private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://example.com/sayHello";
    private static final String OPERATION_NAME = "sayHello";
    private static final String WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE = "http://example.com/";
    private static final String SOAP_ADDRESS = "http://mynewcloudcom.appspot.com/hellosoapserver";  
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        TextView textView = new TextView(this);
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE,
                OPERATION_NAME);
        request.addProperty("arg0","ONE");
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.dotNet = false;
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        HttpTransportSE httpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(SOAP_ADDRESS);
        httpTransport.debug = true;
        try {
            httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
            Log.v("TEST", httpTransport.requestDump);
            Log.v("TEST", httpTransport.responseDump);
            Object response = envelope.getResponse();       
            textView.setText(response.toString());
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            textView.setText(exception.toString());
        }

I even try change soap_address to WSDL file, but still the same error.

private static final String SOAP_ADDRESS = "http://mynewcloudcom.appspot.com/GreeterService.wsdl";
