I want to develop an application that will need its data to be updated regularly, to do that I will add an administrator. I was thinking to make a website for the admin only who will go and update the data over there and then a notification will be sent from the server to the android application using GCM when there is an update, the app will sync and the data will be updated.
Now since I will need to use a server that means my database will be MySQL right?
Or is there another way to do the same thing but without having a headache of using MySQL and json?
I don’t have a server of my own, I was going to use a local server like xamp or wamp and I am more used to working sqlite, if there is a solution to get around this problem with sqlite it would be a pleasure to know it.
The application you are talking about can be achieved by using JSON. For that you need to make api with the related data.
