Loon Introducing Project Loon: Balloon-powered Internet access

The Internet is one of the most transformative technologies of our lifetimes. But for 2 out of every 3 people on earth, a fast, affordable Internet connection is still out of reach. And this is far from being a solved problem.

There are many terrestrial challenges to Internet connectivity—jungles, archipelagos, mountains. There are also major cost challenges. Right now, for example, in most of the countries in the southern hemisphere, the cost of an Internet connection is more than a month’s income.

Solving these problems isn’t simply a question of time: it requires looking at the problem of access from new angles. So today we’re unveiling our latest moonshot from Google[x]: balloon-powered Internet access.

An HTTP & SPDY client for Android and Java applications

HTTP is the way modern applications network. It’s how we exchange data & media. Doing HTTP efficiently makes your stuff load faster and saves bandwidth.
OkHttp is an HTTP client that’s efficient by default:

• SPDY support allows all requests to the same host to share a socket.
• Connection pooling reduces request latency (if SPDY isn’t available).
• Transparent GZIP shrinks download sizes.
• Response caching avoids the network completely for repeat requests.

OkHttp perseveres when the network is troublesome: it will silently recover from common connection problems. If your service has multiple IP addresses OkHttp will attempt alternate addresses if the first connect fails. This is necessary for IPv4+IPv6 and for services hosted in redundant data centers. OkHttp also recovers from problematic proxy servers and failed SSL handshakes.
You can try OkHttp without rewriting your network code. The core module implements the familiar java.net.HttpURLConnection API. And the optional okhttp-apache module implements the Apache HttpClient API.
OkHttp supports Android 2.2 and above. For Java, the minimum requirement is 1.5.
