RESTful API Android Application Design

So I am going to develop a social networking application using a RESTful API and an Android client. The basis behind the app is to send requests to a RESTful API from the Android device, which queries a database and then sends the result to the Android client as JSON

Should I be looking to design this using the MVC Pattern? If I use the MVC Pattern do I have to use an MVC framework such as SpringMVC or Sails.js rather than Node.js for example?
