How to implement long polling connection in android?

Question

Android

There is a very simple task: to establish a long-polling connection (POST) with the server, and wait until it responds with some JSON.
The connection should live only as long as the fragment in which it is running is alive.
Google sent me to SignalR , but either my hands are crooked, or I don’t understand something, but somehow everything is very complicated there.
And I would like some simple client and listener to them. Can anyone come across?

A year later, I again stumbled upon a similar problem, an attempt to find a solution in Russian led me to my own question. Last time, the simplest solution was android-async-http . Apparently the project is still alive.
