title: Securing communication from android to a web service
body: <p>I'm a relative newbie to web and mobile development and especially to security so obvious answers are still appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>I want my android app to be able to log in to a simple web service with a username and password.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best way to send this information securely and keep the user logged in for an entire session? </p>
