I have created a database within an Android app which has one table and four columns. I simply want to update the information in the android app with the same table stored on the MySQL database.
The MySQL database is hosted with an ISP.
what's the simplest was to do this?
Thanks
Try this script. This is good :
mysqlToSqllite
Just for anyone trying to do this is used a PHP file to connect to the DB and HTTP to jet a JSON file

Combined this with making is an asynchronous task:

I need to make a app that adds data to local SQLite database and uploads data to a database so other people that use the app can download that data. I thought about loading SQLite database to online storage but I do not know how to do that or what the best way is.
This is one of the simple approach:
Your app <--->PHP webpage <----> sqlite (on server) --->url of SQLite to download
Your app need to connect to a web api, such as PHP, that can handle sqlite. You can perform sql operators via the api and then get the sqlite file by simply using its URL.
Tutorial
1.First create sqlite database
2.then create oracle database
Setup Apache server like xampp. After setup open php.ini. then delete ; before oci8.dll. then save.
C:xampp/htdocs create php webservice .
5.Call php webservice from android for download upload data.
If you can't I will help you
I'm creating an android app where I'm getting from an online mysql database. I'm rather new to this. I need to know how to connect to the database and then retrieve a specific row from the table using a variable in my code. Thank you in advance!
What have you tried already ? You can do that with a server-side language like PHP and retrieve your query results using JSON.
Try this link:
Android - Connect to MySQL Database
Basically, this is a good option if you don't have any clue at when or how to start.
In my app I am having local Sqlite database and also other mySQL database saved on web (currently using localhost). I want to fetch specific values from mySQL database and that values to be updated in local Sqlite database.
In return like same some values from local Sqlite database to MySQL database on web(or localhost).
As you know it's easy for saving data in android and I did that stuff but getting problem while implementing
ANDROID-->WEB-->ANDROID interaction if you have did it before or having any idea,any links,or sample code please help me on this....
If you want to try it on localhost then the link below is good.

Mechanism you are trying to achieve like Android -> Web -> Android, can be achieved and explained here check it.
How to sync my sqlite table with mysql server table in android?
Are there any library classes in android to sync the local db with server db? Please help me
One way is to use web service. Through that you can add/update/delete your data and sync with local and mysql server.
I dont think there are any out of box classes available.
You might want to look at Sybase's solution

We want to get the remote database data into local database first and then we want to access the local database. Can you please suggest us how to approach for this with sample code. Our remote database is MSSQL Server.
Have the app query the remote server, return the data from MSSQL to android code via JSON, insert into SQLite.
Edit: type MySQL to MSSQL
Get desired data from mysql ...in the form of xml from server. Parse that xml in android and fill desired java beans inside collection. then write state of object's in collection to sqlite dataabase.
I would suggest next time providing some code that indicates at least that you attempted to connect to your database first, and then if you run into trouble, someone here may be able to help. As opposed to just asking for sample code.
If you're talking about replication, I'm not sure this is possible from SQL Server to SQLite, otherwise, the answer to your question is simple, you would connect to your SQL Server database probably through some sort of exposed API, retrieve the data, parse it, and update your local SQLite Database accordingly.
Here's a link to a tutorial that covers connecting to local databases: NotePad Tutorial
