To connect an Android App with a SQL server, you'll need to set up a web (Http) server in between the two. You can build this web server in any language you're familiar with be it java (J2EE) or php etc.
This web server will be hosted with your SQL server and will take Http requests from the Android app, process it, forward the request as queries to your SQL server and then return it back to your app as REST/JSON (the current format of sending data over the web) or SOAP/XML (the old way of sending data over the web).
App >> Web Server >> Database Server
The web server should be RESTful and the app can interact with it via Http requests via the library Retrofit2.
Here's some resources to get you started;
Retrofit by Square.
Retrofit Github repository.
Simple CRUD example with Java RESTful Web Service, a brief tutorial.
RESTful Web Services: A Tutorial Android + Java Web Services

if you are using android studio or eclipse you should put the jtds jar file in the correct location
it is in the libs (library) folder inside app n your project. Once you put it in the libs > right click then add library.
another note you should use 1.2.7 or lower which is much supported

Android Popup help - not appearing

I am trying to load a popup window that contains an edittext and a datepicker.
I have included my code below.
Basically the initial window is closed as expected, but my pop up doesn't appear?
I have checked the xml call and the id is correct, no errors and for some reason my logcat in eclipse has stopped working but thats a different issue!
Hopefully someone can tell me what I have missed and / or doing wrong? I am new to android programming so please ignore my ignorance if it is something simple!

Connecting to FTP server using AsyncTask

I am quite new to android developing
I have written the following code to connect my android to a ftp server
package com.example.test1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public FTPClient mFTPClient = null;
Button but;
public boolean ftpConnect(String host, String username, String password, int port) {
try {
mFTPClient = new FTPClient();
// connecting to the host
mFTPClient.connect(host, port);
// Now check the reply code, if positive mean connection success
if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(mFTPClient.getReplyCode())) {
// Login using username & password
boolean status = mFTPClient.login(username, password);
mFTPClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
mFTPClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
return status;
}
} catch(Exception e) {
CharSequence c = ""+e;
int d = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),c,d);
toast.show();
}
return false;
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
but=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
but.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ftpConnect("127.0.0.1","userName","Password",21);
}
});
}
}
But this gives a networkOnMainThread Exception so after searching i found out i have to use AsyncTask but i have no idea how to implement it!

public void onClick(View v) {
new AsyncTask() {
publc Object doInBackground(Object...) {
try {
mFTPClient = new FTPClient();
// connecting to the host
mFTPClient.connect(host, port);
// Now check the reply code, if positive mean connection success
if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(mFTPClient.getReplyCode())) {
// Login using username & password
boolean status = mFTPClient.login(username, password);
mFTPClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
mFTPClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
return status;
}
} catch(Exception e) {
return e;
}
}
}
public void onPostExecute(Object res) {
if (res instanceof Exception) {
int d = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+res,d);
toast.show();
}
}
}.execute();
Another temporary 'workaround' is to set your android:targetSdkVersion="9" or below in AndroidManifest.xml, as this exception was introduced in API level 10.

Documentation on Android Developers is pretty rich on such an important topic. You'll get it through with that.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

You may want to refer the NetworkConnect sample from the Android SDK.

Use the new Twitter Fabric SDK for Android. Requires sign up first. If you don't want to wait to be approved for the sign up, then I recommend using the following link
https://github.com/Rockncoder/TwitterTutorial
The link above explains how to retrieve tweets. You should be able to use the above link COMBINED with the information in the link below to POST tweets!

toast mesage not shown on screen when network or server not available

I need to show toast message when the server is not responding
when I press the login button, some parameters are passed to AgAppMenu screen which use url connection to server and get xml response in AgAppHelperMethods screen. The
probelm is when the server is busy or the network is not avaibale, I can't show toast message on catch block although it shows the log message.

AgAppHelperMethods isn't really an Activity. You've derived this class from Activity, but then you've created Singleton management methods (getInstance()) and you are instantiating it yourself. This is bad. Don't do this.
Normally Android controls the instantiation of activities. You don't ever create one yourself (with new).
It looks to me like AgAppHelperMethods just needs to be a regular Java class. It doesn't need to inherit from anything. Remove also the lifecycle methods like onCreate().
Now you will have a problem with the toast, because you need a context for that and AgAppHelperMethods isn't a Context. To solve that you can add Context as a parameter to AgAppXMLParser() like this:
public String[][] AgAppXMLParser(Context context, String parUrl) {
...
// Now you can use "context" to create your toast.
}
When you call AgAppXMLParser() from AgAppMenu just pass "this" as the context parameter.
