Android Question Getting started - noob question

[ifdadfas]

Hi all,

I am looking to build a simple app for android tablet device, that will be used to input data into a database and extract data from a database, using simple textfields and buttons.

What is the best way to do this. What software should I be looking at using?
What database should I use?, should I use sql?, can I use a local sql instance and then once ready host the db on the web using a hosting company?

I have done simple web pages with Visual studio, can you make android apps using Visual studio?

Any info appreciated.

For a local database you can use SQLite database (with the SQL library).

For a remote database you have two options:
- Connect Android to MySQL Database Tutorial
- Remote Database Connector - Connect to any remote DB
