My WSDL is like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        </wsdl:port>
      </wsdl:service>
    </wsdl:definitions>

I am wondering what should I put for my SOAP_ACTION, METHOD_NAME, NAMESPACE and URL? I guess:

SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.ABC.com/ABCWcfService/IABCWcfService/GetWhatsOnData"
METHOD_NAME = "GetWhatsOnData"
NAMESPACE = "http://www.ABC.com/ABCWcfService"
URL = "http://desktop/ABCWcfService/ABCWcfService.svc"

But it seems not working in my code:

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
SoapObject result = (SoapObject) envelope.getResponse();

It goes into exception at line androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); the exception object e has value null.

I have add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

in the Manifest file

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Thank you very much.

You can use WCFTestClient and click on XML tab in bottom. You can find the information your are looking (SOAP URL and Action). I hope this will help.
