Retrieving multiple values from a custom API on Azure Mobile Services with Android

I might well be missing something, but I had this problem as well:

Essentially, the Android custom API for Android seems to only want to handle a single value, not at list.

My solution was to use the JSON version of the call, rather than the typed on, and then parse the JSON to get values, like this:

JsonObject request = new JsonObject();

  request.addProperty("propertyname", value);

  mClient.invokeApi("myapi", request, new ApiJsonOperationCallback() {

      @Override

      public void onCompleted(JsonElement result, Exception error,

              ServiceFilterResponse response) {

       doneWorking();

       JSONArray myResults;

          try {

           myResults = new JSONArray(result.toString());

           processResult(myResults);

    } catch (JSONException e) {

     // TODO Auto-generated catch block

     Log.v("MyApp", "Failed");

}

}

});

My object here has two items, voteoption and votes, so I get them like this. Processresults() takes the JSON array and processes it like this:

public void processResult(JSONArray myResults){

  String voteoption;

  String votes;

  for(int n = 0; n < myResults.length(); n++)

{

   try{

    JSONObject res = myResults.getJSONObject(n);

                              voteoption = res.getString("voteoption");

                              votes = res.getString("votes");

                                // do something with vote option and votes

}

   catch  (JSONException e)

{

    Log.v("MyApp", "Error sorting out the array " );

}

}

}

I'm probably missing something, as the iPhone version of the API call works as expected with multiple values.
