I dont use Webservices because... well... webservices.... I'll hold my toungue.

Anyways, Android doesnt have built in webservice <-> view binding. You'd have to bind it manually or try and find a library that helps you bind it.

For XML parsing I'd reccommend the DOM or SAX parser in the Android API, and for binding a data model to a Listview, you should look into creating an array of custom Java objects and extending the BaseAdapter interface. BaseAdapter will help you connect your data to the ListView.

Hope that helps.
