robospice

I am new to the Robospice/retrofit libraries. I got some samples from the github. https://github.com/octo-online/RoboSpice-samples/tree/release/robospice-sample-retrofit . My Understanding: The request is "githubRequest" and the response is the "Contributor.List". The webservice is called by getSpiceManager().execute. Code Snippet: @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); getSpiceManager().execute(githubRequest, "github", DurationInMillis.ONE_MINUTE, new ListContributorRequestListener()); } public final class ListContributorRequestListener implements RequestListener<Contributor

Background I have been trying to modify the Robospice Ormlite example code , which I have been successful to run. The only changes I have made is that I have a JSON response that contains an array of objects. I created 2 classes: public class Foos extends ArrayList<Foo> public class Foo I had initial problems, as my JSON response is a pure array with no outer container.

I'm looking for a technical answer to how the android robospice library manages activity lifecycle. From the getting started page: https://github.com/octo-online/robospice/wiki/Starter-Guide "As an inner class of your Activity (or other context), add a RequestlListener that will update your UI. Don't worry about memory leaks, RoboSpice manages your activity's life cycle." My question is how does robospice automatically update the request listeners so that it still is able to call the correct listener with the correct context after a rotation and after the activity has been destroyed and
