I want to read and write data on my server database from android UI.
I have a host which has MySQL.
any suggestion for me?
Create php to create json for your data on the server.
Use RoboSpice for aysnc loading your json via the network.
See https://github.com/octo-online/robospice
This is your friend. On server side you should create php pages (or another ones) and make requests from your app to these pages.

How to store the entered data into a remote database?
I'm assuming you want to communicate with the remote server through API.To Send POST and GET request to the server, means to create a connection between the server and Android Application.There are many libraries to make HTTP request for example Retrofit,Volley etc, These powerful libraries make it easy to consume JSON or XML data.You can send your data and store them in the remote database.
You can follow the tutorials for better understanding link1,link2.
I have a script in java that works like a crawler and saves data in MySql DB. What i want to do is build a Mobile App(Andriod/ios) which will connect to mysql database retrieve results and just show it to the user.
What is the best approach to this ? I tried to use Flex UI with PHP as my server client but was hoping to know if there is a better solution ?
The fastest would be to make android fetch a page in XML, typically on the server and display its contents(If displaying contets is your desired result).

You need to implement a script on your server, your POST interacts with that script and inturn that script works with your database.
A typical scenario will be:
Java HTTP POST ~~~> PHP ~~~~> MySql.
PHP will as well help you encode the result in JSON and post it back to your client.
Try using jdbc or jtds library to connect android app with mysql
I used jdts library for connecting mssql db using android app.
http://jtds.sourceforge.net
For mysql jdbc might work
I would know how many and which are the possibile system for saving data from android application to remote sql server. I know just one way: Web service. Are there other systems?
I myself use PHP scripts and HTTP Requests. You do not want to have the app establish a direct connection to the server, because that would require database usernames and passwords sotred in the app. Use POST or GET methods to post data, and then in the PHP, echo out the results of the script and then decode them in your app.
REST + JSON. Check them out:

How to connect the live database in android? if anyone know pls tell me how?
You should either use web services or implement an HTTP handler and transfer in a RESTful manner
you use the webservice (url) like php,.net,python.then data stored in the database using the webservice.and response from the server like xml and json.you make the connection to the sever through the get and post request from the server.
I want create a android application and i need to connect to a webservice and this web service should have connection to a database.
How is the simple way and free to implement this solution?
How about a PHP server which is (managing a database and) handling HTML POST requests? You could use JSON as communication format. On client side you could even use GSON to hide the JSON handling.
