Solution 1

For one of the approaches, please see these CodeProject articles:
WCF and Android Part I[^],
WCF and Android: Part II[^].

As far as I can see, this article is limited to the case when you only consume the service in Android, and not developing an Android service, but second option looks quite unlikely.

Generally, if you had CLI-based WCF on both sides, you would have all the WPF options at your fingertips, but unfortunately Xamarine makes it quite expensive, so the suggested approach looks like a good choice.

Yes, i only need to consume WCF Services on multiple platform like android app ? So restful WCF would be best way or not ? Also i want to implement some security work. so please help me with example in that way as well....

Very good. Best or not? Well, define "best"... :-)
There is no such thing as "best"; the preference highly depend on many factors, the detail of the application, even on resources you have and your experience and personal preferences.

Anyway, I offered you some arguments in favor of this approach. Will you accept the answer formally? (It won't prevent others from sending their suggestions.)
