title: Soap Client on Android to access Salesforce APIs
body: <p>I want to develop a application on Android platform to connect to salesforce. From what i have found salesforce provides service API's which can be used to connect to salesforce servers by creating a Web service from the client side application. </p>
  
  <p>Salesforce developer site has examples of creating such a Web service by using Apache Axis as the SOAP client and using the WSDL file downloaded from the salesforce website. I want to know can this be done from Android platform? </p>
  
  <p>Is there a version of Apache Axis ported for Android? I did some googling and could find that Android does not have a inbuilt SOAP client and usually Ksoap is used on Android. 
  But I have also read that KSOAP doesnt support WSDL. </p>
  
  <p>I have seen the above question asked before but quite a while ago, As Android platform has emerged eversince I want to know what is the current situation and options of doing this. </p>
  
  <p>Also, Since I am new to Android and development on Android if anyone can direct me to a sample code snippet, which creates a Web Service from android to connect to salesforce, I would be higly grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Is there any other way to develop an Salesforce client on Android without the above approach? I am running out of ideas :( </p>
