As far as I can imagine, the whole concept of having a library that could connect to a remote DB is not worth for a mobile platform. You are not writing a desktop app anyway, which would require the whole DB with all it's features exposed through a remote DB connection. It too much for a mobile app I would say. Apart from the security issues, if at all you get a direct connection to a remote DB, then there is no point in keeping a local DB, which is bad in various situations (no network connectivity). In case you are having a local DB as well, don't you think it's redundant duplication of data, and also, don't you think that your code will also be more? Well, if you have a webservice over your DB on your servers, you still have to write extra bit of code, but then, you will only deal with functions that the webservice exposes, and thus, you would be handling a subset of all possible situations, if it would have been a direct DB connection.
Another issue I might think can come up very soon, is that you are looking for a MySQL version library. If at all there are any for Android, I am sure, they are not yet matured enough to use in an enterprise level setup. You might want to change the DB to Oracle, or SQL server, are you sure that these libraries can really handle that well? I personally don't think so. May be in the future, they will be available, BUT RIGHT NOW, Use a webservice and SQLite, I would suggest.
