How can I connect to and insert and select data from a database in Android?
There are too many examples of how to do it:
Android SQLite Basics: creating and
using a database, and working with
sqlite3
Android Data Storage
Also, the NotePad tutorial in official developer's page is a good starting point.

I am creating an android app, UI/UX and andoid work are finished. I am new to database setup. Can anyone tell me which type of database I should use to store descent amount of data like signup details and app using details. Should I use DBMS or RDBMS or SQlite? help me. Thank you.
In my point of view , you have to use SQLite for android apps.
There are several benefits in SQLite like :
SQLite is embedded into every Android device.
Using an SQLite database in Android does not require a setup procedure or administration of the database.
You only have to define the SQL statements for creating and updating the database. Afterwards the database is automatically managed for you by the Android platform.
Is there any database manager for android where I can add,update and do all other option like phpmyadmin in PHP.
I just want to easy my work where I can add database manually without firing query.just help me because I have lots of data to insert and if I do it manually by firing query than its take around 2 months.
Thank you
There are some GUI based tools available, you can use either of any:
SQLite Manager, firefox plugin
SQLite Expert professional
FYI, there are 2 ways to integrate database in android application:
Create database from scratch using code
Use existing database (i.e. created using SQLite manager or any other third ,party tools), but here you have to write code to copy database into your application.
Search more about these 2 options and you would get plenty of resources!

There is no Wikipedia Database out there , but there is a MediaWiki's API which you can use to fetching your data and store it on your db to access later offline.

Create a Table (generally this is done just once)
Insert some Datasets
Query for some Datasets
Close the Database
Android uses the SQLITE database Read up on it here: http://www.screaming-penguin.com/node/7742
I assume you have read the official Android developer guide. If not, there is a wealth of information about doing anything and everything you'd want on an Android device.
Since Android uses SQLite as it's internal database, I'd suggest reading documentation about it + the data storage part of Android guide.
These would be good starting points.
You may try this simple tutorial with nice graphics illustration.
When using a database for an Android application, is it possible to use a MySQL database, or do you have to use SQLite?
What I'm trying to do is make an app that allows users to see events on a map. These events are updated by admin staff from the office from a Java-based application that works with the MySQL database.
SqLite is present on the phone with some good tutorials out there to get you started using it.
Check the online docs for more details, and I suggest taking a look at the notepad sample, it will get you up to speed in no time.

As far as I know you have to use sqlite. MySQL needs a server which would mean you'd need a locally hosted mysql server on a phone which is going a bit overboard.
you have to use sqlite for your android side database
The best is to use content providers if you want to share information. Android provides built in interface for sqlite (android.database.sqlite) and so sqlite is easiest to use.
Another alternative to Sqlite is Berkeley DB for Android (Berkeley DB - Java Edition)
