Hi,
There is no general solution since there is no standard for PLC devices,
each manufacturer defines a proprietary protocol to communicate with his
devices.
Once you know the manufacturer and the device model you can try to find
libraries which encapsulates the protocol.
Here is a post explaining how to 'exchange data with Siemens PLC' via wifi.

I haven't tried it, but I'm experienced with PLC and Android and it make
sense.
Hope this helps

Hi, I am new to android programming and also PLC ladder programming.
But im not new in C#, JAVA, JS, AS3, PHP.
I've coded quite a lot of C# apps for my own use.
Recently Im required to code an Android App to be able to connect to
PLC devices and to do stuff.
Stuff like: Upload the PLC ladder program from Android Phone/Tablet
into PLC devices.
Ofcoz, the devices requires "User Access", so it has to be able to
login to the PLC accordingly.
Now, I have no problem in programming standard (Basic) Android Apps.
What I don't know is, is there any class or library out there that
could allow me to do such functionality?
And how do I do it on the hardware level? e.g. USB cable to PLC...
Anyone has any leads?
