This is great stuff! I used your code snippets to get me going in the right direction and have added a visual component to your Android app with a ListView and added the ability to POST to the Ruby on Rails app. I just uploaded a blog post on this at my site.

Thanks,

You have this great tutorial but on my pc (fedora 7) i am unable to see log file in Android/tools

Thanks for your 3 part series, I’ve just(last two days) got into Android development and pretty much started with the exact steps you have here.

I think rails rest + android have great potential.

p.s you can use ‘rake db:create’ in rails without needing to use the ‘mysqladmin’ command directly to create the database.

very interesting. I am looking forward to read the rest of the series!

Out of curiosity, why didn’t use a BufferedReader to read the response line by line? Is this a performance thing for you to do it so low level?

Did you find an easy way to output the whole response somewhere for further reference, like in a file? I am trying to understand a larger XML I am getting as a server response, but the output from logcat is, of course, not formatted.

Cheers,
Mariano
