How would you request data to a webservice?

I'm developing an Android app which connects to a Symfony2 project (PHP). This app is kinda like a Notes app. So every user will have his private list of notes.

When I request for the list of notes for the logged user, which info do I've to send? We're not able to create a session, so we can't "remember" if the user that previously logged in, is the same that is requesting to list all the notes for X user.

So every time I want to receive some "personal" data, do I've to send user and password? Somehow, everytime I do a request to the webservice, I've to tell who I am, by sending username and password over and over again.

Is there any better way to do this?

I don't know if I explained myself correctly. Any question, feel free to ask.

Normally you create a session with a session ID held in the cookie. THen you reuse the same Http client for each request, so the cookie is kept around. That way you don't need to send the login information each time.
