Java - REST Client

Question

I almost finished my RESTful API. I created the API with PHP and using SLIM Framework.

And for the last step, I should consume the RESTful API that I've created before on Android application.

I've some question to ask.

1. Is it possible to use the RESTful API that I made with SLIM and PHP in Android Application ?
2. If the answer is 'YES', is there a framework or library can be used ?

Thanks before :)
