httpclient

In an Android app, I am using one static instance of org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient and sharing that instance in all activities and services of the app, so that this client may be used to log in once to a remote server and all subsequent user requests to that remote server will remain authenticated.

Every activity or Service that makes a GET or POST to this remote server calls the same method : MyUtilityClass.gettHttpClient()

Do I need to worry about synchronization of this httpclient? If so, what is the best way to handle this?
