The REST server exposes several resources, e.g. (GET)

Answer 1

We have developped a library that adresses this issue : RoboSpice.

The library uses the "service approach" described by Virgil Dobjanschi and Neil Goodmann, but we offer a complete all-in-one solution that :

• executes asynchronously (in a background AndroidService) network requests that will return POJOs (ex: REST requests)
• caches results (in Json, or Xml, or flat text files, or binary files)
• notifies your activities (or any other context) of the result of the network request if they are still alive
• doesn't notify your activities of the result if they are not alive anymore
• notifies your activities on their UI Thread
• uses a simple but robust exception handling model
• supports multiple ContentServices to aggregate different web services results
• supports multi-threading of request executions
• is strongly typed !
• is open source ;)
• and tested

We are actually looking for feedback from the community.
