$set = $soap->call($sessionID, \'abc.set\', arra         


        

Answer 1

Step 1 : In ksoap or ksoap2 no direct support to send Array. so you can create a SoapObject with method name(which you need to create array)

SoapObject object= new SoapObject(NAMESPACE,"shoppingCartProductEntity");
object.addProperty("product_id","886");
object.addProperty("sku","ABC 456-Black-10");
         and more parameters.....

Step 2 : then create arrayType method(optional depends on your WSDL) and add this soapObject to that array Object as a property

SoapObject EntityArray = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "shoppingCartProductEntityArray");
EntityArray.addProperty("products",object);

Step 3 : finally add the array to your main soap call

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE,"shoppingCartProductAdd");
request.addProperty("sessionId", sessionId);
request.addProperty("quoteId", cartId);
request.addProperty("products",EntityArray); //ADDING ARRAY HERE AS A PEOPERTY
env.setOutputSoapObject(request);
androidHttpTransport.call(NAMESPACE +"/shoppingCartProductAdd ", env);
resultSoap = env.getResponse();

NOTE : the steps varies depends on the your WSDL, sometimes you can directly add 1st step object as a parameter, this depends on WSDL.
