How to connect an android app to a remote database? [closed]

You can refer to this tutorial

Or refer to this diagram

To communicate with the remote databse, you require web service which can fetch data from or suit data to remote database.

I am not sure about which web platforms are you using currently but I would suggest you to go with REST with JSON.

android database listview connection

How about a simple web service in the middle?

It helps to prevent you putting database username/pw directly in the app too.

App -> Http requests -> Web service -> Database

The Http requests can be done via Android HttpClient

The web service can be in php for example. (There is a lot example for php to database on google.)
