P PHB2 Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 26, 2011 #5 Hi Erel Many thanks for your responses. Because my planned Android app needs to work with a hosted WCF web service I must make sure the development tool I choose is going to be able to cope and be easy to use. I hav read through the thread on the HttpUtils, but am wondering whether you have a sample set of code that would describe how a request would be made to a WCF web service and then how the response would be managed?
