I’m semi-new to android. I’ve been looking all over the internet, but I can’t find a solution to my problem. I’m making an android app for my friend’s band. I doubt they’ll be getting more than a few views a day. I just need a dead simple way to store maybe three or four strings in the cloud and access those strings from my android app. It doesn’t need to be complicated at all. Just a remote database. I’ve looked into GData, facebook, but it’s all extremely complicated to set up. Can someone give me a preferably free solution?

Take a look at Parse, it’s very easy to use and let’s you focus on your Android app, instead of having to create and manage the backend.
If not, probably start by serving up a JSON encoded file with your strings somewhere (on your own website) and work on getting this to your device using HttpClient, decode it and display. There should be many examples of this around (Google
android json httpclient).
