Question

Hi im new to both android and java

i have php page in my webserver, i want to get this page result in android. I have search a lot for mysql android connection someone says that it is possible through “new URL” in java. But i cannot catch this method. Actually i want to implement a login page for android. I have already created a login page in php. Now i want to just post username and password value to php page the php page will check the data with database and if user is a valid user i need to redirect otherwise i will show an error message.

thanks

You should consider writing an API on your webserver that returns JSON data to your client.

Then for example you would call the php page http://yourwebsite.com/api.php?method=login&username=user&password=md5password

The webpage would then return a JSON data result that your Android app can parse for a result (200 success, 403 access forbidden if they entered a wrong username or password, etc. etc.).

An example. And here is another.
