They are different, but I don’t think networking is one of the major differences.
Website backends often have significant dependence on other services that can be down. Further standalone apps can have zero network dependence or a lot. So having written both, and similar code for each, I don’t feel the networking side is all that different.
If anything networking is probably the largest similarly between them.
PS: I did some iOS development in my spare time even worked with some old J2ME, so I assume Android is fairly similar.
