AndroidCommunicator

A container that uses DI to help programmers develop Android applications that call Web Services.

Client code needs to have annotations for the service instances that will be injected at run-time.

These instances can be configured in an XML file with details like: Web Service address, type (one of SOAP, REST or HTTP - for a Web resource), timeout and algorithms for building the request object and the conversion from result to response object.

The calls to the Web Services are performed in a generic manner transparent to the client of the API.

A demonstrative application is also offered named PhotoSpeller that spells with photos a text obtained from the user or by calling one of the following services: QuoteOfThe Day or Excuses. The photos are obtained by calling either Flickr or Google Images services.
