Question

I am fairly new to Android programming and was wondering how I can get data from an SQL database in my Android app.

I currently have a PHP script that pulls the data I want from the SQL table but I’m not sure how to pull the data from the PHP script into my Java. How do I do this? I read something about SOAP. Is this the protocol I want to use?

Thanks

You can use the function below to get content from your PHP script

    public static String get(String from) {
        try {
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
            HttpGet get = new HttpGet(from);
            HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);  
            HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity();  
            if (resEntityGet != null) return EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("", e.toString());
        }
        return null;
    }
