Ksoap2 can parse response into several types of objects.

1. SoapObject - the default one. You can use its methods getProperty, getPropertySafely, getPropertyAsString and so on for getting data. i.e String value = response.getPropertySafelyAsString("propertyName", "default");
2. Class which implements KvmSerializable interface and registered by addMaping().
3. Class which implements Marshal interface and registered by addMaping().

In the last two cases you will get your object from envelope.getResponse() (in the first case your will get SoapObject). So you can get your data from SoapObject or implement KvmSerializable or Marshal interfaces and register your class.
