How can I connect 2 devices (PC and Android device to be specific) via internet to stream data (I need such connection in my program)? I will need some indirect server, right ( I don't have my own IP )?
I'll need to stream video, some text-base commands and some pictures. Do u know a technology/protocol that can manage to do this?

This is too broad, so let me better just comment: You need a 3rd computer (server) in the internet, with its own internet IP.
That way the devices will call this server within Internet Transmission standards.
And, depending on what your application does, you need to program a server...

However, you could, theoretically, use any web server, and make reduced calls where you just get an image here, some text there, as users interact with your software, and 'feed' the webpage.

You need more telecom knowledge, but all you're saying, bottom-line, is possible.

This seems like an appropriate use of IoT services...

There are several services that will "gather" you data for you... Personally, I like "ThinkSpeak"... https://thingspeak.com/[^]

You can use their API to publish your data from mobile devices, IoT devices like Raspberry PI(s) and Arduinos, and use your devices or even your browser to read the data from ThinkSpeak's servers as useful dashboards, graphs or just as plain data.

I do agree that the question that you are asking is a little too wild, but I hope that if this could possibly be a pointer in the right direction.

As an example, I am working on a ThinkSpeak/Arduino project that allows a company that services decorative fishtanks to monitor water quality in their client's offices, and receive alerts when the results go out of the norm.
