I suggest using JSON instead of XML. One reason would be that tt is more lightweight than XML.
Doing JSON in PHP is easy, basically try to get your query result as a two-dimensional array, and use json_encode to transform it to JSON. On the Android side, you can use org.json (which is part of the Android platform) to "parse" the JSON-response and use the data in your app. best regards, Yves 2009/12/24 Skid <nski...@googlemail.com> > I have no experience in this sort of thing which is why I'm asking for > advise, I need to pull data off a MySQL database on my server, the > data doesn't need to be updated contently just ever minute at the very > least.
