Re: [android-developers] Accessing a database hosted on a server

Your reply, TreKing, reminds me of the classic joke: you ask a programmer if he knows what time it is, and he says 'yes';)

But a little more of a hint would have been quite appropriate. I take an especial interest in this because if I had been the one designing the Android database API, I like to think I would have made it a lot easier for the client programmer to use the exact same sequence (after initialization) of API calls whether the database is located on the phone or remotely accessible via (for example) HTTP. But they did not do this, and it it really not obvious how  best to approach the problem.

Even many of the people answering the same question on StackOverflow admit there is no one, good solution to this problem, saying instead disappointing generalities such as "There is no easy way of connecting Android DIRECTLY to a remote database." No wonder all the answers got such low ratings!

Is it possible to connect me to a database and insert and delete data?

Yes, this is possible.
