database - How to get from a MySql server to an Android app?

Question

I have a MySql database with some sports results in it. I want to write an Android application to display these data on mobile phones.

I′ve searched on the internet for this issue, and I think it is not possible to have a direct connection between the MySql database and the Android application. (Is this right?)

So my question is the following: How can I have access in the android application to the MySql database in order to display some of the data?

Answer 1

Try this method out. I will be using this method for the current project i am working on.

You basically create a php script on a server and use http posts to send the data to the script, read the tutorial linked below for better explanation.
