Even though title was "Android", I mentioned in original post will be both

But since it's twice the $$ , I'm still trying to talk them into a good

I would forget about android and make the app browser based.

There are lots of ways to do that.

Check out Scott Klement's presentation on using PhoneGap with RPG.
http://scottklement.com/presentations/#MOBILERPG
<http://scottklement.com/presentations/#MOBILERPG> the presentation
and code samples are available.

The presentation includes a basic discussion of the various
approaches and pluses and minuses.

You can certainly use web services - but that still leaves the
problem of how to code the interface on the device.

Current system is RPGLE, including cgi and the Apache web server.

Database design is "old". No flat files or multi-member stuff -
not that old..

Management wants to have an android/iOs app to submit orders (with
proper editing),

plus inquiry. No rewrite of the system to do this, just an add on.

I'm not familiar with Android type apps but would guess web services
?

This will not be heavy traffic, maybe 15 orders per hour, 20
inquiry..

My question is whether (without needing big software) web services
is to normal way to go?

Authentication is also important - current web serving is a user/pwd
.
