How to connect Azure media services to android application?

I have connected a raspberry pi USB camera to Azure media services(AMS) for live streaming, now I want to integrate AMS to my android app? How am I supposed to do that?

It sounds like you want to know how to consume the video on android app, which comes from the USB camera of Raspberry PI and stream up to AMS.
Accroding to the offical tutorial, I think there are two ways to playback the video on AMS via Android.
Using the existing players on Android, please see here.

Getting surveillance camera footage streamed to phone

I am studying computer programming, but I feel that at school we are doing only stuff that work on a computer without having any connection to the outside world and it isn't all that interesting, so I gave myself a challenge. I want to make a program that streams footage from a surveillance camera to a phone. It seems a bit of a long shot, but I want to try. The thing is that, as I said, at school we are doing pretty basic stuff and with a project like this I have no idea how to even begin. A simple Google search didn't help at all.
I know how mobile apps are made, but I have no idea how to connect such devices.
Any ideas?

I have experience only in RTMP streaming so I am going to explain what I did then.As far as I know, there are 3 components required for streaming in RTMP:
The source - a device with the webcam that is going to generate the video streams. You might need to learn flash scripting language called ActionScript 3 and Flex to write an application that will help you to send stream to a server.
The Media Server- The source device sends its stream to the media server (in some cases, the media server is the source). You can easily do this with action script after you set up your server. If you want to have a local media server then you can install RED5 media server which is based on Java and is open-source.
Client Application- The client application can be a mobile application or a flash based web application which will connect to your media server for the stream and will display it on the client's device.Even this can be written in ActionScript/Flex.
Here is a tutorial on how you can download and setup Red5 media server:

You'll need to learn ActionScript / Flex for client side application and some bit of Java for server side.

Audio Recorder Player Rails Mobile Friendly

Updated
I may have found the solution, I can probably make a mobile app with phonegap that talks to my rails app and make a lighter version of a mobile version of the rails app
I may be getting an educational rails application to work on soon. The client is an educational consultant, she wants to build a rails application and one of the feature is that a teacher can record a feedback that belongs to a particular student for an assignment. The app needs to be able to record an audio and play an audio.
I have been researching this feature both on stackoverflow and google but I don't find the answers very complete.
I got a couple of options,
1) I have found this blog, a developer built an audio recorder/player with flash http://cykod.com/blog/archive/December2010
and basically its teaching me to grab the audio from a browser with a microphone with flash (needs user permission) and then send it to the server therefore you can escape using red5 (media server).
She wants it to be mobile friendly. I don't think the recording works on the android phone because of flash and I am sure the android phone lacks a microphone. I don't know much about ios either because I don't specialize in mobile. I got my android phone to download flash so it can play the sound.
2) using red5server but I think the player/recorder will still be flash and it doesn't work on the phone
3) http://www.sajithmr.me/jrecorder-jquery and jrecorder
I got some solutions for rails but is there a mobile friendly solution ?

I am sure the android phone lacks a microphone
A phone without a microphone would be pretty useless! :)
With Android you can use MediaRecorder to record and save an audio file. I'm sure it works, I've done it before.
Although I have never tried, I think you can do it in PhoneGap with the Capture options and on iOS with the Audio Video Foundation framework.
That's for the mobile part. You don't need flash there, there are much better options.
On your web application, you can surely use Flash to record audio from the computer's microphone.
However, if you're lucky enough your users will use recent browser that support HTML5 audio recording and playback. Check out capturing audio tutorial and libraries such as audio.js.
