Consider using Retrofit

[pforhan]

Retrofit is a handy framework for going from a java interface to a remote service. Handles threading and it can parse json responses directly into java objects pretty seamlessly.

Disclaimer: I work on Retrofit for my day job.

If you think it'd clean up the code, go for it. Is this in use in Square's own Android app?

[pforhan]

Yep, both Wallet and Register make use of the library. There is a small trick we use Guice (actually, Dagger, though in the same way) to make it easier, but this shouldn't be necessary.

Very rough work-in-progress at https://github.com/pforhan/campyre/compare/master...retrofit-fun

Not hooked up at all, or tested, but that's about all that's required to have multithreading and automatic gson deserialization. Two big missing pieces:

• The part that constructs the proxy service implementations (See RestAdapter.create())
• Verifying upload/download formats.

If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll move farther on this.

Nice syntax, I like where it's going.
