I'm working on a little Android project in java, I'm using the webapi of spotify to get me so data to play around with.First thing I notice when visiting: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/web-api/ is that a developer can choose to use xml or json.What i would like to do is 'cache' my data so i can do the following:
read one value from the file, or construct an object based on different values
add the object created above to the lisviewadapter
update the listview with the updated adapter
iterate over previous steps until parsing of file is complete
I want to be as quick as possible for my users so that the ui gets updated while parsing and loading the data. For this I sketched 2 use-cases.
add items to the listview until done
show a X amount of items and show a load more button
What file type is more ideal to use for my problem? xml parsing or json parsing?How can i do this parsing? which tools meet my requirements?Which use-case seems better to use?any tips if you have done something like this in the past?any guidance is appreciated
