You can Use below code to call the web service and get response  Make sure that your Web Service return the response in Data Table Format  This code help you if you using data from SQL Server database  If you you using MYSQL you need to change one thing just replace word  NewDataSet from sentence obj2  SoapObject  obj1 getProperty  NewDataSet    by DocumentElement  private static final String NAMESPACE    http   tempuri org    private static final String URL    http   localhost Web Service asmx       you can use   IP address instead of localhost private static final String METHOD NAME    Function Name   private static final String SOAP ACTION   NAMESPACE   METHOD NAME   SoapObject request   new SoapObject NAMESPACE  METHOD NAME   request addProperty  parm name   prm value      Parameter for Method SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope   new SoapSerializationEnvelope SoapEnvelope VER11   envelope dotNet   true  envelope setOutputSoapObject request   HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport   new HttpTransportSE URL    try       androidHttpTransport call SOAP ACTION  envelope     call the eb service Method   catch  Exception e        e printStackTrace        Next task is to get Response and format that response  SoapObject obj  obj1  obj2  obj3  obj    SoapObject  envelope getResponse    obj1    SoapObject  obj getProperty  diffgram    obj2    SoapObject  obj1 getProperty  NewDataSet     for  int i   0  i  lt  obj2 getPropertyCount    i      the method getPropertyCount   return the number of rows       obj3    SoapObject  obj2 getProperty i       obj3 getProperty 0  toString      value of column 1     obj3 getProperty 1  toString      value of column 2       like that you will get value from each column     If you have any problem regarding this you can write me

If more than one result is expected  then the getResponse   method will return a Vector containing the various responses   In which case the offending code becomes   Object result   envelope getResponse        treat result as a vector String resultText   null  if  result instanceof Vector        SoapPrimitive element0    SoapPrimitive   Vector  result  elementAt 0       resultText   element0 toString       tv setText resultText     Answer based on the ksoap2-android  mosabua fork

It s very simple  You are getting the result into an Object which is a primitive one   Your code     Object result    Object envelope getResponse      Correct code     SoapObject result  SoapObject envelope getResponse       To get the data  String resultData result getProperty 0  toString       0 is the first object of data    I think this should definitely work

How does your  NET Webservice look like   I had the same effect using ksoap 2 3 from code google com  I followed the tutorial on The Code Project  which is great BTW    And everytime I used      Integer result    Integer envelope getResponse      to get the result of a my webservice  regardless of the type  I tried Object  String  int  I ran into the org ksoap2 serialization SoapPrimitive exception   I found a solution  workaround   The first thing I had to do was to remove the  SoapRpcMethod   attribute from my webservice methods        SoapRpcMethod    WebMethod      public Object GetInteger1 int i                   android device will throw exception         return 0              WebMethod      public Object GetInteger2 int i                   android device will get the value         return 0          Then I changed my Android code to       SoapPrimitive result    SoapPrimitive envelope getResponse      However  I get a SoapPrimitive object  which has a  value  filed that is private  Luckily the value is passed through the toString   method  so I use Integer parseInt result toString    to get my value  which is enough for me  because I don t have any complex types that I need to get from my Web service   Here is the full source   private static final String SOAP ACTION    http   tempuri org GetInteger2   private static final String METHOD NAME    GetInteger2   private static final String NAMESPACE    http   tempuri org    private static final String URL    http   10 0 2 2 4711 Service1 asmx    public int GetInteger2   throws IOException  XmlPullParserException       SoapObject request   new SoapObject NAMESPACE  METHOD NAME        PropertyInfo pi   new PropertyInfo        pi setName  i        pi setValue 123       request addProperty pi        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope           new SoapSerializationEnvelope SoapEnvelope VER11       envelope dotNet   true      envelope setOutputSoapObject request        AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport   new AndroidHttpTransport URL       androidHttpTransport call SOAP ACTION  envelope        SoapPrimitive result    SoapPrimitive envelope getResponse        return Integer parseInt result toString

I think you can t call   androidHttpTransport call SOAP ACTION  envelope     on main Thread     Network operations should be done on different Thread   Create another Thread or AsyncTask to call the method
