Summary of Weekly Topic
The study of week 8 would help in understanding the concept of Networking in Android.
The study of using the HTTP web services, Downloading Binary Data, Accessing Web Services
using GET, Consuming Jason Services, and Sockets Programming would be helpful for analysis
of the network advancements. The HTTPs are stateless and it results in maintaining the server
connection for its clients so that the messages can be passed through it. This has been termed as
Socket Programming. JASON is the abbreviation of Java Script Object Notation and it is a data
exchange format for defining the structures of data.
