For connecting a website use the following code

             URL url = new URL("http://www.myweb.com");

                HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                conn.setConnectTimeout(5000);    // 5 seconds
                conn.setRequestMethod("GET");       
                conn.connect();
                BufferedReader rd  = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

                String line;

                while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                  //data of the page will be returned in line, do whatever u want here
                }

i founded this tool to auto generate wsdl to android code,

http://www.wsdl2code.com/Example.aspx

public void callWebService(){
    SampleService srv1 = new SampleService();
    Request req = new Request();
    req.companyId = "1";
    req.userName = "userName";
    req.password = "pas";
    Response response =  srv1.ServiceSample(req);
}
