Ok, let's break it down:
The data is obtained from the server using http requests. It is usually received in the form of JSON String, basically a ordered, human-readable data format which is easy to read and parse.
On the app side, you need to implement the layout, which is done in xml and Java. You also need some logic which will obtain the data with the aforementioned requests, parse it, turn into Java Objects and put everything into the layout.
The process is not really complex, could be completed by a single person, but you will need experience, time and good architectural decisions.
If this is your first time with Android app programming, do some tutorials (especially ones that cover networking), learn some libraries (Volley, Retrofit, org.json, RXJava, Picasso will be really useful for what you ask about) and code several small apps from start to end. After that you may be ready to tackle the app you described :-)

Here you will find a quick tutorial which should give you an idea on how Volley works :-) http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/an-introduction-to-volley--cms-23800 – Kelevandos May 11 '16 at 07:58
