Creating Web Service for Android Application

first of all I know this question is quite general and is not about coding problems. I've reading some info about Web Services for Android using SOAP or REST but I've never created a web service so I have many questions about this. I'm developing an Android App where the users answer some questions and for each user an XML file is generated and saved in the device. What I would like to do is to send these XML files from the devices to the Web Service and also sometimes to retrieve all the files to any device. Do I need to convert these files into Byte or just send the XML?Are these actions possible with the Web Service or will you use Java Sockets? In case you prefer the Web Service, what would you use: REST, SOAP...I would appreciate some links to tutorials and piece of advise.Thank you for your time.
