Connecting to MySQL from Android with JDBC

by

You can’t access a MySQL DB from Android natively. EDIT: Actually you may be able to use JDBC, but it is not recommended (or may not work?) … see Android JDBC not working: ClassNotFoundException on driver

Android cannot connect directly to the database server. Therefore we
need to create a simple web service that will pass the requests to the
database and will return the response.

For most [good] users this might be fine. But imagine you get a hacker that gets a hold of your program. I’ve decompiled my own applications and its scary what I’ve seen. What if they get your username / password to your database and wreak havoc? Bad.
