Answer 1

You should consider using the Project Tango library. I'm 80% sure you can use it in Android.

Generate a proxy from the web service and it'll give you classes for the complex types.

Answer 2

First of all - what content type you are talking about? XML and JSON are supported I believe. I've been using just plain HttpClient to get the responses

Answer 3

if you need to parse XML response, see here: http://www.helloandroid.com/node/110 it's a sample XML RSS reader
