Android Question Connecting to MySql database

Android comes with MySql lite. So you can play with it.

If you want a central solution (many apps use the same database and want to exchange data) you will need a server where MySql runs.

SQLite, NOT MySQL lite! SQLite and MySQL are two different databasesystems and are not compatible to eachother.

The two recommended ways to connect to a MySQL datavase:
- RDC (Remote Database Connector)
- PHP script that acts as a web service

I think that there is also a MySQL library in the forum that allows you to directly connect to the database. I don't recommend you to choose this approach.
