    You can build a magento app either by 3rd Party Developer or through an app builder. 3rd Party development would be costly compared to develop an app through an app buider. Moreover you may save a lot of time through an app builder. Visit here - http://cedcommerce.com/blog/magento/magento-apps/magenative-magento-mobile-app/ – CedCommerce Jul 01 '16 at 05:40

There are few Steps for that::

  1. Magento offers two API's to develop your app in Android
    a. SOAP API
    b. XML-RPC

  2. If you want to use XMLRPC API,then you have to download it's library and use it in your Project.

  3. You have to create a New User in your Magento Store with roles.That you can do by loging in to your Admin module and the option is under the system->WebServices->User && Roles...You have to create first roles and then create a user and assign the roles to the User.
  4. You have to use the UserName and APIKey that you give in the Magento Store for calling the login Function.
  5. Calling the Login function,you will Receive a Session Id,that you have to store and Use it in your further calls.

  • Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer. Can you tell me which one of these will be faster: Performance wise. I once asked if we can make our own custom frontend using the API's instead of Magento's default and everyone seemed to dislike the idea. Doesn't that mean the same thing for the mobile applications? – Kunwar Siddharth Singh Jul 27 '12 at 07:04
  • You only have 2 Options,use XMLRPC or SOAP..or the third one..create your own one...But XMLRPC is better according to me as Simple to Use than Other..this statement is made with reference of ME. – Haresh Chaudhary Jul 27 '12 at 07:07

    You can use a cross platform app builder such as Phonegap and create front-end there. For back-end you can create web-services using XML RPC APIs. Phonegap will create a cross platform app and you will not need to build separate apps for both. Some of the extensions that are built using the same approach are Mofluid - http://mofluid.com and official magento app - https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/mobile – vipul_vj Apr 01 '14 at 10:02
  • Magento is an opensource, So first you need to create an application, Then it ll attached with your magento app & synchronized to your application. Otherwise you need readymade API, i suggest Contus MComm. They bulit a readymade application for Magento mobile apps –  Jul 29 '15 at 06:57
