How can I cast a String to a SoapObject in ksoap2?

Question

In my Android app I use ksoap2 for communication with a server. I download a certain complex sports information structure via soap request and parse it later in my program.<

Answer 1

This here seems to work:

public SoapObject createSoapObjectFromSoapObjectString(String soapObjectString)
{
// Create a SoapSerializationEnvelope with some config
SoapSerializationEnvelope env = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
env.dotNet = true;

// Set your string as output
env.setOutputSoapObject(soapObjectString);

// Get response
SoapObject so = (SoapObject) env.getResponse();

return so;
}
