I'm not sure I understand - where should this windows authentication be? I can only imagine that the webservice would somehow use windows authentication. That has got nothing to do with the client though.

Well the android user provides its windows username and password and the its authenticated towards active directory.
But thats not windows authenication really?
How would you do it?

I always do it step by step. Specially when there is new stuff involved.
In this case, I would:
1. setup the simplest possible webservice, with no authentication. You can expect problems at that stage, so it will keep you busy for a while.
2. once I have the basic demo setup with complete procedure from Android to server, I'd think about authentication. It is best to use whatever is easiest to setup on the server that you will use. And the easiest to do is the one that has the best tutorial available - that all depends on what server you will use.
