U need to generate a XML file and to parse the value in the android application.

Use the sax parser to parse the values: http://developer.android.com/reference/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.html

Here is an example on how to parse: http://www.ctctlabs.com/index.php/blog/detail/parsing_xml_on_android/ http://prasanta-paul.blogspot.com/2010/06/android-parcelable-example.html

Here is the solution to create a wizard with previous and next buttons: Using ViewFipper in android

Hope the above links will help u!

As Mr. Grott suggests, you should expose a Web service (REST preferred) from your Web application. You can then use HttpClient in Android to make Web service calls to get the data you seek.
