How to Use

Apache Maven

To make use of this library in a Maven project, add the following to your project's POM:

<project>
  ...
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>googlecode-ksoap2-android</id>
      <name>googlecode-ksoap2-android</name>
      <url>http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.code.ksoap2-android</groupId>
      <artifactId>ksoap2-android</artifactId>
      <version>2.6.4</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>

or use a repository manager to add the repository there and just add the dependency. Contact simpligility technologies for consulting and training for Sonatype Nexus.

Standard Android Ant-based build and Eclipse/ADT

To make use of this library in a non-Maven project, follow the instructions in the Android Developer's Guide on how to Add an External Library to your project.

You will need to add a ksoap2-android and all required transitive dependencies to the build path. Luckily the Maven build of the project produces a nice bundle of all these jars in one big file.

The different version of these files are available at http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/source/browse/#svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/

To download a file from there, right click on "View raw file" and select "Save Link as" (this label differs for different browsers) and you will get the full jar downloaded.

The latest release artifact would be available at

http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/source/browse/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/2.6.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.6.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

with a direct download url of

http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/2.6.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.6.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Some users seem to experience download problems with IE. Just try a decent browser or download with a command line tool like wget

wget http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/2.6.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.6.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

After the manual download confirm the size of the downloaded file since many users seem to be experiencing problems.

Or better just use Maven and a repository server.
