Do I need ProtoBuf RPC Android examples?

I am studying ProtoBufs and would like a good example of using it in Android and the presence of * .proto files (s) located on the server. I cannot find suitable tutorials for using RPC.

I would like class examples to show how to bind data (for example: http: /a-site.com/my-file.proto), and then deserialize / inflate data in a listView with binding. I don't need to serialize any data - just read and inflate it on the device.

Plz note that i'm currently learning web services; I really know how to create * .proto files - I just need to explore the Android side. Otherwise, I'm sure it would be easy for me to implement ProtoBuf.

Thank you so much for your help!

The recently opened Google Sky Map Astronomy application for Android uses ProtoBuf to deserialize data in ProtobufAstronomicalSource :

One touch of Android is that they use the "lite" version of the protobuf jar:

http://code.google.com/p/stardroid/source/browse/trunk/app/libs/protobuf-java-2.3.0-lite.jar

To do this, you need to add the LITE_RUNTIME flag to your .proto files - this will lead to the creation of Java proto classes that omit mobile-vm-friendly functions such as reflection.

By the way, protocol buffers themselves do not exactly provide full RPC (PB is just a way of encoding structured data), but, as you probably know, there are several third-party RPC implementations that are on top:
