This is called a "native application", the point is not to parse the site - but contact the database directly via the API. This speeds up at times the speed of work + you can add features of the android itself.

To write such an application, you need a whole range of knowledge, start with the following topics:

Activity life cycle, screen rotation processing, Fragments , Fragments life cycle, Service , SQlite , working with API site's API , working with the network, etc. (by the time of the API you will already have an idea of ​​which way to look).

For a start, you will be helped by resources:

Start android

Dev Hummingbird

In the course of the same way, you will have to cling to the layout for Android , different layout of the Layouts, styles, Material design .
