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.<

Lets say, someObject is an object with the members CategoryId, Name, Description. If you are getting these object members in the response, you can save them to someObject by doing this:

SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();

someObject.CategoryId =  Integer.parseInt(response.getProperty(0).toString());
someObject.Name =  response.getProperty(1).toString();
someObject.Description = response.getProperty(2).toString();

EDIT:

Ok I see the problem now.

To get a soapobject, only way I can think of is:

1)parse the stored string 2)store all the data fields in local variables

Parse stored string:

start loop
int x = something
string y = something
double z = something
end loop

3)create a new object using the variables

someObject.fieldx = x
someObject.fieldy = y
someObject.fieldz = z

4)create a new soapobject

SoapObject sp_Object = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

5)create a propertyinfo using the object in step 3

PropertyInfo prop = new PropertyInfo();
prop.setNamespace(NAMESPACE);
prop.setType(someObject.getClass());
prop.setValue(someObject);

6)add the propertyinfo to the soapobject in step 4

sp_Object.addProperty(prop);

Then you can use the soapobject sp_Object for your parser.
