How to connect Android Studio & ESP WROOM 02 (ESP8266)?

First time post here, I am new to programming with android studio. I am not sure if I came to the right place to ask for help. I am not sure what I am trying to do is possible or where to search for tutorials on the subject. I don't have experience with connecting devices over WiFi at all.

Here is what I am trying to do: I have an App I created with Android Studio, this app has a list of "devices", these devices will control a window over a wifi connection. In the app, I simply have an "Open" button and a "Close" button for each "device".

I need to be able to show that the 'device' (which is the wifi stepper below) is connected to my app.

I am using the ESP-WROOM-02 (ESP8266) wifi module. Specifically, this wifi-stepper: https://www.crowdsupply.com/good-robotics/wi-fi-stepper

I can give more info or code samples of my project if needed, and any help is much appreciated. I don't know how or where to start.

tldr; I am unsure how to program the connection between the app and the module so that when I press open, the window will open.

Update, As now you say they are both on the same network and the device says "HTTP(S) JSON RESTful interface" you app just needs to make https requests to the ip address of the device.

Docs https://bitbucket.org/aklofas/wifistepper/src/master/documentation/src/interfaces/restful.md

And in Android one method of http requests https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html

The device has fairly good documentation of how to set it all up and talk to it via it's various interfaces.
