I am being partially agressive because you seem to be rejecting advice that lines up with your questions, and you implied I didn't understand your question. It's unproductive to everyone on the list when you reject advice by saying "that's not what I want," specifically when you can have no evidence to support why the answers given (in fact, quite to the contrary). I think I've made a good case as to why you could use Parse or Google App Engine, and it would be helpful if you would provide an answer as to why these are unacceptable. An answer to this would allow refined answers from me and others on the list, but instead you say that any of the services recommended are in "beta" and find this unacceptable. For what it's worth, Google App Engine's backend is used by thousands of apps, a number of which are at the enterprise level, and Parse (although you didn't take the time to read) is enterprise ready at the moment. You also provide a number of links to services you want, provided they have REST APIs you can simply use Android's baked in support for HttpClients and the like, which is generally what people do. Furthermore, you still haven't answered the question as to why you need this support in your app. The point of this forum is providing help with SDK related questions, so your entire subject is somewhat off topic and inappropriate here, a more acceptable question might be framed "how do I use this web service X with the HttpClient implementation, I've tried Y, but haven't had any luck because of Z, and my main goal with using the service is to accomplish etc..." kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
