[android-developers] Re: connecting mysql database

I think it is rather presumptuous of some commentators to suggest one
approach is either right or wrong. The real world is never this black
or white.

A direct connection to a remote database is perfectly secure, usable
and technically possible particularly if the Android device is
connecting via a secure wi-fi network or a GPRS/3G network where the
SIM is part of a private APN. Unlike J2ME for example, the Android
framework supports full database JDBC connectivity.

Android also supports many technical solutions to supporting offline
connectivity that does not just involve REST and web services.

Our MobiForms Developer rapid application development tool for example
supports the creation of apps that can directly connect to a multitude
of back office databases via JDBC. We do not currently support MySQL
in this direct mode, but this is a licensing issue rather than a
technical issue.

The complementary MobiForms Sync Server also supports bi-directional
data replication, synchronisation and offline buffering between just
about any back office database or ERP package (such as Oracle Apps,
SAP, Navision, Dynamics etc.), and Google Android or others such as
Windows Mobile. Supported back office databases include Oracle, SQL
Server, Access, Sybase, IBM DB2, SQLite, HSQLDB and MySQL
