RTSP means Real Time Streaming Protocol, is a protocol specifically designed for streaming purpose, with RTSP you can control absolute positioning within the media stream, recording and possibly device control etc
- RTSP introduces a number of new methods and has a different
protocol identifier.
- An RTSP server needs to maintain state by default in almost all cases, as opposed to the stateless nature of HTTP.
- Both an RTSP server and client can issue requests.
- Data is carried out-of-band by a different protocol.
If you want to use video streaming you have to use RTSP
See this LINK for more details about the protocol RTSP
NB
To show the video content in Android you can use the VideoView
myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.myview);
myVideoView.setVideoPath("rtsp://SERVER_IP_ADDR:5544/");
myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
As described HERE

I would suggest you to go for RTMP (Real time messaging protocol) instead of RTSP, there are number of open source plugins available in the market, like the famous "flowplayer" which is capable of streaming the video as per the industrial standards using the RTMP protocol. It has rapidly developed its capability to stream videos on Apple devices with the existing Flowplayer source plugin. Hope this helps
Flowplaye : flowplayer website We are currently using the Akamai streaming capability coupled with flowplayer plugin for a flawless streaming experience.
