Do you mean "forum" of "form" in your title? – Nanne Jun 26 '11 at 09:37 — Nanne, Jun 26 '11 at 09:37

I'm unsure what you mean by 'webforum' if you want to embed a webforum in your app use webkit: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

If you want to make a forum native to Android break it down into pieces. You're going to need to store the data, check out SQLite and other storage: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html

You'll need a way for users to post things, check out custom dialogs: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html

You'll need to build your forum it's self so look at UI elements. This is really a difficult question to answer accurately since there's very little information. Hopefully this is of some help.

EDIT: Just noticed you say both "forum" and "form" if you mean form then custom dialogs should be sufficient. You can embed UI elements for input like EditText in them.

i mean " forum". i am sorry .. my bad. – NBB Jun 26 '11 at 10:45 — NBB, Jun 26 '11 at 10:45
