I'm not 100% sure if I understood your question completely right, but you might wanna check out this tutorial I wrote a few months ago. I hope that helps.

Once you got a positive response ("user logged in") from your http server you just open a new activity implementing a webview and opening that URL. Just keep in mind, that this URL will be publicly accessible, unless you add further security to it. But then it might be easier to implement everything withing a mobile website.
