Is it possible to connect our android App to xampp? If so, how do we connect it?. My fellow friend told me it is possible by downloading xampp and noc. I have never tried this before though, I am curious about the other way to connect our android App to mysql beside using sqlite.
Any answer I will appreciate ! Thx.

I'm a beginner in android.
For developing I use Android studio 3.1.
I'd like to connect one of my application, to sql server, but i'm not able to find any working connection class.
Could someone help me?
there is no support to thing like this
in this case, you need to build an API to communicate between Android and SQL server
I'm beginner in android development and i notice that when i'm researching and try to create an Android application with Login and Registration with Database(phpmyadmin). Mostly in tutorials i read in different websites, they pre-requirements is I need to install WAMP server.
My question is it's better to use WAMP server than XAMPP server when it comes in creating android application? And which is more advantage between the two server?
Read: I know that WAMP is made for windows only and XAMPP can run on any OS
I want more clarification between WAMP and XAMPP. Why did the tutorials in androids refer to use WAMP than XAMPP. Thanks developers!
Actually for developing Android application you need not require a WAMP/XAMPP server. The only perquisites is
Android Studio with Android SDK(Java comes with Studio)
And you are good to Go!
WAMP/XAMPP are used for creating a development environment Apache server, where you can have the MySQL Database, can host PHP APIs, etc.
I am completely new to remote server. There is an eclipse which remote systems is installed on it. I want to have an android project and then use the remote systems to connect to PHP server and use MySQL data. I have installed android ADT and SDK on this Eclipse which has Remote system on it. Did I do a right thing? How should I connect between Android App and remote server? Is there any manual about it?
Hi as i understand question, you're interest in how to work with remote database from the Android application. For that is important to ask what platform you are going to use as server side PHP,JAVA, .NET? And according to answer it is possible to suggest nice tutorial.
It is quite good tutorial for beginning.

I want to connect My Android app to Firebird database using JDBC or Jaybird.I am able to connect it with in JAVA but in android i can't able. so please give me suggestion or idea about it.
Is there any additional Api add into Android App?
Thanks In Adavanced.
In general, you should not use JDBC drivers from Android. Using JDBC from an Android device will be slow and insecure. If you want to connect an Android application to a database, you should write a rest service (eg in Java) that talks to your database, and make your Android application talk to that rest service. It will usually perform better, and is easier to secure than direct database access.
There is a separate port for android of the Jaybird JDBC driver. You can find it on http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidjaybird/ However, this port hasn't been updated for a few years and it seems to have been abandoned.
We are undertaking an Android project but need to connect to postgreSQL server which we use throughout our other projects.
Any suggestions on a starting point for this?
Is there anything out there (paid or unpaid) that will allow us to achieve this?
I realize that this is a pretty general question, and although we have extensive experience with writing desktop client/server apps, we have little experience with programming for mobile devices.
I would write a RestFUL API or WebService to be used as front end for your Android device to connect to your PostgreSQL backend.
I don't think you will be able to connect directly your Android App to a PostgreSQL database.
I'd go with a lightweight REST interface that would talk to PostgreSQL in the backend. Have a look at Simple.
I would approach this by implementing an intermediary web service. The Android application would send requests to the web service, which would serve as a gatekeeper to isolate the PostgreSQL server from the internet at large.
