I have a simple question for you, What if I want to develop an Android Application which uses a database for storing the data and retrieving those data, I know that there is an option to use SQLite, as I know SQLite is something which stores the data in a device , or you can say within a system somewhere, what about if I wanna store some data from one device and retrieve those data from another device?? I mean what is the best way of having a single Database which will communicate with all the devices? to be clear, using SQLite it seems to me like more as a local database not a global.
Thank you!

I am trying to make a tutorial app with the help of Android, but I am confused where I should put the whole content (topic details). Actually I want to use it with the help of SQLite database. I used hashmap in my app.
if you really want to store your data on app, then SQL is best option. Otherwise you can use Remote server to store data. and SQLite for offline access to already viewed data.
Is it possible to store data directly to the database without having the user input something in it. I am planning on creating a school updater which updates students regarding school news and such. What confuses me is that how can I store data directly into it. Im not that good on servers so Im resorting into databases but Im confused where to start.
Thanks a lot!
Do you want to store data in a remote database? If yes, you may want to use REST-APIs/Webservices and process the data on the remoteserver.
You should not (except Databases like CouchDB) connect your device directly to any remote remote device for security reasons.
Anyway, you may create a local SQLite database on your device and synchronise the data using REST.
What I need the app to do is to store data in a database and let any user fetch the data. I am not sure how SQLite works but from what I know is that it is server-less. With the database being serverless, how do multiple users, other users, access the same data if it is not stored on a server?
look for backend and a service - parse.com or similar.
SQLite is installed on all android systems, and any app which wishes to create and use a database may do so. This however, is only stored locally on the device.
If you wish to share and synchronize data across multiple devices, that is a different issue all to itself. Indeed it will very likely involve a central server somewhere along the line.

i want to create an android application but i don't know how to use the sqlite database i already have.
In fact, i have an existing sqlite database using by an existing software application for computer. The database is stored on a server.
I want to know how i can read the database stored on the server to be always up to date when using the android application ?
I don't know if i'm clear, my english is not really good and i tryed my best to explain.
You can imagine that like a restaurant. The main application is already created but i want to develop an android application and each server has an android tablet with the application so they can access to the database when they have to.
Thank you.
you have to have the following:
Call Webservice from your android app.
the Webservice has all methods and functions that you need to interact with database on database Server.
the Webservice must return the data you need from the database server back to your android app.
Here is a good tutorial that you can start with to get clear idea in how can you use Webservice with android apps.
I am new to Android Development and I'm developing an application for my Final Year Project.
I am a little confused as to when it comes to setting up the database. I read a few things and most people seem to use SQLite.
Basically I am developing an android app which has too different aspects to it.
1. admin inputs data on the app and saves to a database. 2. users open app and view data from the database.
The data is going to have to be input and viewable over the 3g/wifi network.
Do i need to host my database online and which database would be best to use? from reading it seems SQLite is hosted on your local disk so should i use MySQL?
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks
Android includes SQLite. So, if you save data in a DB on an Android system itself, you use SQLite. If you store your data elsewhere, you are free to use whatever you like, Oracle, DB2, Mysql or even SQLite.
