I would recommend you spend some time getting familiar with Web
services, REST in particular. This is not a Web service or REST support
group.

There are >30 books on the subject, at least according to Amazon.com. I
have read _RESTful Web Services_ and can recommend that one, but there
are others. You might choose one specific to whatever programming
language you are going to use to build the Web service.

Of course, there is also an extensive Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

And this white paper:

http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/restws.pdf

Among many other links available from your favorite search engine. There
are also about 500 questions related to Web services out on StackOverflow.

If, after you have a Web service that meets your needs, you have
problems using it from Android, then come back here, or to
StackOverflow, and we can try to help.
