Make a REST post/put call to your webservice.You can use Android httpclient to make a connection. The api is available here

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/http/AndroidHttpClient.html

As always, don't forget to turn on your internet permission and perform your network tasking within AsyncTask or another thread to prevent UI thread blocking.

Rails exposes REST APIs that you can use to send data to your server. There should be an api that accepts post requests and updates the data on your web application's database. Ask your rails developer for the url.
