The original question wat about *consuming* web services, not necessarily creating them. The answer to your question is:
- When you don't have control of server-side that provides the REST services, and/or - When the REST services are going to be accessed by more than just mobile clients.... Due to small screen real estate, mobile clients could show a smaller view on the data/resources retrieved from a REST service (less items, less detail) while other clients, such as desktop clients, could show/handle in full detail the entire representation returned by that same REST service. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
