I need to connect from my Android phone to a Windows PC share and access files. I saw some sample apps in Android market that access share folders using smb/samba. But I have no idea about how to create an app like that.

You need to get JCIFS and use SmbFile class to interact with files over the network,

that is a quick example of how to list files, of coarse you need internet permission on. So Far though everytime I try to call SmbFile.listFiles(); I get an UnknownHostException, However others seam to be able to do it with no problem, this might work for you, try it!
