处理大型JSON响应-Android

Question

For a rest api call , I am getting a very large response and in some devices it is leading to OutOfMemory exception. Right now what I am doing is the response from http call is taken to a stringBuilder and then parsed to class using Gson. Is this the right way to do it? Is there a better calling mechanism to avoid this memory error? How usually this kind of very large responses are handled in android? Is there any other methods other than the normal HTTP call

Please help

I recomend you to use Jackson lib : http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonDownload

Jackson allow you to parse your inputStream or a file to Objects or Map directly, so you don't need to save your large JSON in a String or byte array to avoid memory error.
