How to connect Android app to web server
<p>I am working on designing an Android application for my senior design project. The application will need to be able to connect to a web server. The web server is just a locally hosted Apache web server on a personal computer. The application will need to download a makeshift software update to the phone/application. </p>

<p>At this point in the design, I have the login page and home page built. The problem I am having is how to connect to a web server from the app. My professor has also requested that from the login page, if the proper username and password have been entered, that these credentials will also access the web server. I am also questioning if this is even possible. Any advice will be greatly received. </p>

<p>Thanks - Please let me know if this question needs more info or is not clear enough to answer. </p>
