I have several apps which talk to mysql databases that I have on my
websites. For me, I use a http post and json to talk between the two. For
example, say I want a user to be able to insert some arbitrary data into a
database (assuming he's already set up a username and password on my
website). Here's the logical steps I take:
(Android app): Collect data, get saved login information
(Android app): Post data to my server
(Webserver): Gather the data (in $_POST['username'], $_POST['password'],
and $_POST['data']) and insert it however you need to.
(Webserver): Return success or failure through a JSON object (e.g.
echo(json_encode(array('status'=>'ok', 'error_message' => ''))))
(Android app): Parse the JSON object, and look for either an "ok" status or
and "error" status.
Anyway, I've been successful using that method, and I have two apps which
currently use it.
