        DatastoreService datastore = DatastoreServiceFactory.getDatastoreService();
        Query q = new Query("Student");

        PreparedQuery pq = datastore.prepare(q);


        for (Entity entity : pq.asIterable()) 
{

        String nm=(String)entity.getProperty("Name");
        String em=(String)entity.getProperty("E-Mail");
    }
     resp.getWriter().println((String)entity.getProperty("Name"));

          resp.getWriter().println((String)entity.getProperty("E-Mail"));

There different approaches to this problem. Usually you would create some kind of services, most likely in JSON format and then you'll be able to interact from your Android app with Google App Engine using HTTP requests. Even better solution though would be to use the Google Cloud Endpoints:

Google Cloud Endpoints consists of tools, libraries and capabilities that allow you to generate Endpoints and client libraries from an App Engine backend to simplify client access to that web app. Endpoints makes it easier to create a web backend for web clients and mobile clients such as Android or Apple's iOS.
