I have an application where i need to download a large amount of data via a SOAP call to a webservice into the application when it is first run. The response is then sent to a function which converts the XML and stores the data in a db file. The data is more than 16MB in size and i have a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError everytime. Modifying the webservice to give out smaller amounts of data is not an option. Is there a way to be able to download the large data? Something like an InputStream perhaps? This is my code public Protocol[] getProtocols() { String METHOD_NAME = "GetProtocols"; String SOAP

Below is my code, which I have written to validate user log in credentials. The web service written using .net private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/getCredentials"; private static final String OPERATION_NAME = "getCredentials"; private static final String WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/"; private static final String SOAP_ADDRESS = "http://myStaticIP:portNo/WebSiteName/CommunicationInterface.asmx"; SoapObject request = new SoapObject(WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE, OPERATION_NAME); request.addProperty("username",Username); request.addProperty("password", Password);
