While anyone is free to step forward and help you, for such a general question this mailing list is probably not your best option. You'd probably be better served at a general Android development forum, and then come back here when you need help specific to the MediaWiki API.
In general, you send an HTTP GET or POST to the API endpoint with the appropriate parameters encoded in the GET query string or the POST body. If you intend your app to log in to the site, you'll also need to properly save and send cookies along with the request. Documentation on "the appropriate parameters" may be fetched by visiting the API endpoint with no parameters, and a more in-depth help document is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page
