Question

i want to create an android application but i don’t know how to use the sqlite database i already have.
In fact, i have an existing sqlite database using by an existing software application for computer. The database is stored on a server.

I want to know how i can read the database stored on the server to be always up to date when using the android application ?

I don’t know if i’m clear, my english is not really good and i tryed my best to explain.

You can imagine that like a restaurant. The main application is already created but i want to develop an android application and each server has an android tablet with the application so they can access to the database when they have to.

Thank you.

Answer 1

you have to have the following:

• Call Webservice from your android app.
• the Webservice has all methods and functions that you need to interact with database on database Server.
• the Webservice must return the data you need from the database server back to your android app.

Here is a good tutorial that you can start with to get clear idea in how can you use Webservice with android apps.
