Im new to android development. I realized if DB were to be on the phone updating it would be tedious. So though keeping DB on the server is better of but retrieving data from DB to App is what im having doubts with.

The approach you may need to choose will be, have a service hosted on your server (could be written in any programming language) which retrieves/posts data from database and sends data in either JSON/XML format ( I did JSon format) to app. In your app use HTTPClient to get/post data to service hosted on your server. Parse the data using Android in built JSon API.
