Android web service access using Async Task

In Android we can use Async Tasks to perform background activities without interrupting main gui thread. So it is ideal for the tasks like web service accessing in Android.

To import ksoap2 to the java build path follow steps mentioned here.  

Here is the quick demo of the application.
