Just make a network request with HTTP protocol (
if your server accepts HTTP, otherwise the one that is supports), fetch the records and display them. That is how a Client-server application model works.
If you are going to use a WebView, then you can ignore these requests and simply send a request to your application's URL. This guide would help you out in explaining the common concepts about Android WebView, and how to build applications on top of that,

If you want to create your own application and want to load your own UX and UI concepts. Then read this guide,
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/index.html[
^], as it would help you to understand how to make network requests and how to get the data.
Usually, servers return (the servers of API type) JSON or XML based data. You must also know how to handle that data in your application.
