Communication between Android and PC (C #)

I want to create an Android application that communicates with a server application (written in C #, it does not matter which version of .NET) is on the PC via TCP / IP. What would be the best approach here?

I was thinking of some kind of RPC-like SOAP or XML-RPC. But I want the server application to be as simple and easy as possible. And I think in C # you rely on a web server to configure your RPC server. Is it better to communicate directly through TcpListener?

I was very lucky using TCP / IP and UDP with Android and Windows (Java and C #, respectively). I used a more brutal approach than TCPListener for C #, but pretty similar at a high level. I would recommend giving him a chance and seeing the result, most likely it will be quite easy in terms of processing and bandwidth, and then using the XML approach.

What data will be transmitted by your program over the network? If this is something simple, why not use a high-level protocol like http? I am more of a java person, but I know that there must be an .net equivalent for running a lean HTTP server to connect.
