This is more a quick question on the capabilities of Android.

I want to develop an app on android, and I am going to purchase an android device when doing so.

I know there are methods out there and tutorials to connect to a MySQL database. What I want to do is connect to the database through the app (securely), run a MySQL query (PHP file) and then get the results. This is all possible, but when it returns, is it just as simple as doing a while/for loop and then make a result, and put some other data with it? For example a picture etc?

I am just thinking it may be more complicated.

For example I have the MONSTERS table:

id    name    colour     picture
1     bob     red        bobsred.png
2     greg    green      gregsgreen.png

…EXAMPLE…

And I want the results to come up like this:

BOB   (picture)
GREG  (picture)

Each being buttons that then go to a different page/form or something like that.

Let me reiterate I am not looking for code, but rather someone to confirm its possible from some Android Developers!

Thanks!

    Yes it’s entirely possible. And there are probably a number of ways of doing it. There will be abundant code samples available for your googling pleasure.

    Pass your values to PHP via a GET. Return as JSON or XML or whatever makes you happy. Loop through and build your display table.
