Which is the best free online database for Android? It is for a management app and the data is structured with many different tables. And it's a SQL and retrieve data in the form of query .
I would recommend Firebase Cloud Firestore, if its only database you need, it does a great job at simplifying all the configuration and operations to read/write.
Its a NoSQL database so not sure if it might be what you are looking for. It might be a bit harder to find specific pieces of data in the database but with the Firebase SDK everything is very accessible and easy to handle from your app. It's also free and easy for beginners to use.

MongoDB is another NoSQL option. You can get a free, 500MB server though Mongo Atlas.

Some context: The Db already exists and the app is for internal use of the company, that's why I'm not doing an API.
I need to connect my app to an SQL server to execute a query and retreive data from it.
I've already tried with this plugin but no succes SqlJocky5
Someone have done something similar already with flutter? How you did it? there's another library for connecting the app with a sql server?
So, What I'm looking for is if there's a library to do it like in Xamarin Forms (SqlClient) or in Android Studio Java (JDBC Driver).
I tried to ask a question and I got block because I didn’t answer some question.
Here is the answer:
From https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/flutter-dev/GO9ilukcoN4 from #Abner Hernandez
First: you need a SQLServerSocket: https://github.com/nippur72/SqlServerSocket is free and works!
Second: you need a client https://github.com/nippur72/SqlServerSocket (look in DartClient folder).
I did several connections and it works very well.
Of course, it is not as "easy to use, with 2 or 3 clicks and less programming..." but yes, you can "implement a simple SELECT * FROM XXX and show the results on both devices (IOS and Android) with Flutter." I did it.!
Yes I tested it with my remote sql and is working on CRUD. I didn't test for extensive query yet.
günter-zöchbauer gives the best practices.
You should use AQUEDUCT aqueduct.io and create a web api so your Flutter app connects to the server more securely.

I don't want to be an expert or anything, I just need the simplest local database for android applications. I'm used to Parse (not local) but as it has been taken out I need a new one.
I've come accross SQLite and Couchbase Lite. I don't like the first one and I am not sure I can use Couchbase Lite only locally, without uploading my database to the server. Which do you recommend? Which is closer to Parse?
My application will save A LOT of data, so the database needs to be light, fast and with good documentation.
Thanks!
You can use Realm.
Realm Mobile Database is an alternative to SQLite and Core Data. Thanks to its zero-copy design, Realm Mobile Database is much faster than an ORM, and often faster than raw SQLite.
In Addition, it has good documentation.
You can use Couchbase Lite purely as a local data store. It's quite capable as is, and will be adding some very powerful features in the upcoming 2.0 version.
In terms of simplicity, I find it just about equivalent to regular file i/o in complexity, for basic use.

I'm currently developing an android application. It stores user login and sign up information using Firebase.
The challenge I'm faced with is finding a suitable database to store information from websites which I would gather myself and allow the app to automatically update and include that information.
Firebase doesn't have a GUI that can create tables and records, so it does not fully meet my requirements. It'll only be used for user authentication.
I've read answers to questions similar to this and saw alternatives such as:
AWS
Buddy
Kinvey
I currently don't have the budget to pay for a premium service so I'm looking for a free and reliable one until I can upgrade.
To sum it all up, I want a online database with either a GUI or text based (preferably SQL syntax), that is reliable and easy to understand.
For my first Android app where I developed it from my diploma thesis and to learn about android philosophy I used MongodDB.
MongoLab has free services to store your documents there. I used Java so you may have to look the MongoDB for java documentation, you can find it easy on the internet and the documentation is very explainable.
Also, for security reasons you may have to develop a restfull API and as a result you may have to use (for example) the PHP API of mongodb to cummunicate with a server and get the query results from there and use them for your Android app. You may have to search about how to get json data from a server to your android app but there are many tutorials about this too.
I have to mention that I am not an expert on which databases are the best to use for Android apps but MongoDB did the work for me.

I am developing one android application for which I need to use database but I am confused between MySQL and SQLite. My application consists of one questionnaire having 4-5 test papers and generates automatic report on the basis of answers given by user. But as a newbie in the area of application development, I couldn't decide which database is good for my application.
Is this database supposed to be on the phone, or is it supposed to be on a server where the results can be saved for grading/other use? If its on the device only, then SQLite is your only option. If its meant for use on a server where results are being sent back to, then SQLite is probably not the right choice- MySql, Posgresql, or other similar product would make more sense.

I am trying to make an app that will allow users to manage their activities and so. And for this, I need to store all the data on some server. What should I use ? Can you recommend me some kind of good webhosting with huge or possibky unlimited database space ? Thank you very much for your suggestions
You may use www.parse.com orwww.baasbox.com for backing up your data. Happy coding
Its not really possible to provide better than the typical "it depends" answer - there are a whole bunch of trade-offs to consider when selecting which data store to use (let alone how you choose to host it)
However, given you've explicitly tagged sql-server I'd suggest taking a look at Microsoft's Azure platform (and perhaps specifically their hosted SQL Database) as it should satisfy all the points in your question.
