There are few Steps for that::

  1. Magento offers two API's to develop your app in Android
    a. SOAP API
    b. XML-RPC

  2. If you want to use XMLRPC API,then you have to download it's library and use it in your Project.

  3. You have to create a New User in your Magento Store with roles.That you can do by loging in to your Admin module and the option is under the system->WebServices->User && Roles...You have to create first roles and then create a user and assign the roles to the User.
  4. You have to use the UserName and APIKey that you give in the Magento Store for calling the login Function.
  5. Calling the Login function,you will Receive a Session Id,that you have to store and Use it in your further calls.
