University Name, Semester: Android Networking E-Portfolio - Week 8

This E-Portfolio focuses on Android networking concepts, specifically addressing the study of Week 8. The assignment delves into understanding networking in Android development, covering the use of HTTP web services, downloading binary data, accessing web services using GET methods, consuming JSON services, and socket programming. The summary highlights the stateless nature of HTTP and its implications for maintaining server connections, leading to socket programming. It also defines JSON as a data exchange format. The portfolio includes references to various online resources, such as tutorials from Vogella, Udacity courses, and PowerPoint presentations discussing network programming techniques, including NIST atomic time, FTP, HTTP URL connections, and JSON usage. These resources provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, covering both general techniques and platform-specific implementations for Android.

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.
