Answer 1

If anyone looking for android application for magento site, you can use this.

Magento offers two API's to develop your app in Android

1. SOAP API - http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/soap/introduction.html

2. REST API - http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/rest/introduction.html

3. You have to create a New User in your Magento Store with roles.That you can do by loging in to your Admin and the option is under the system->WebServices->User&Roles.

4. You have to create role and a user.Then assign the roles to the User.
5. For using SOAP API use this tutorial http://inchoo.net/dev-talk/android-development/magento-v2-api-soap-android/
6. For REST api use - Android - Magento REST Api Cannot Respond Properly
7. In REST API, Oauth is there This example is without Oauth.

Before stating Android side make sure the magento configured properly. Test the urls in browser first then use it in Application.
