Push Messages using REST api in android

Question

I am developing an Android app using Parse.com website. In which whatever user sends data that must be received by receiver, but here I have to use REST api. I succeeded to send data to Parse website but now I have to Push that data with the help of REST api only. I am confused with REST api. Help to solve it.

You can use a library for that. I would suggest this one https://github.com/kodart/Httpzoid It has clean API and type-safe data.

Here is a simple usage example

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.post("http://example.com/users")
    .data(new User("John"))
    .execute();

Or more complex with callbacks

Http http = HttpFactory.create(context);
http.post("http://example.com/users")
    .data(new User("John"))
    .handler(new ResponseHandler<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void success(Void ignore, HttpResponse response) {
        }

        @Override
        public void error(String message, HttpResponse response) {
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(NetworkError error) {
        }

        @Override
        public void complete() {
        }
    }).execute();

It is fresh new, but looks very promising.
