If the scheme of the URL is 'rstp://', it should be straightforward. What do you need to know, that is not already covered in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol?
If the scheme is not 'rstp://', then you should go for progressive download, not streaming. But if you really need streaming to protect media IP, then go for the rstp scheme and therefore RSTP protocol. On the Android phone, you would use the MediaPlayer's prepareAsync() setOnBufferingUpdateListher() etc. methods. Indeed: most of your question will be answered by searching for the word 'streaming' in the Reference tab for the android.media package, class MediaPlayer.
