Apps creating database search App

hello ..i have a church database which i want to create an App which contains all details in the database....with a search button to search the database...
 
I guess there's two ways of going about it; and you haven't given much details in your question:

1: Expose your church database via a web based API and then query it with HTTP requests in your app. An example how to use HTTP requests in Android can be found here:
httpwebrequest - Make an HTTP request with android - Stack Overflow

2: Dump your data in a SQLite database that comes natively in Android; then query that database from your app. The downside is that your data might get stale since it is part of the app and not stored in a central database.

I would go with solution 1
 
ok artsapp..thanks will do just what u said...would be glad if you could suggest some example of alreday made database search apps so i could use as a guide
 
Hey

I'd love to just give you a working example; but you will always have to write your own SQL queries and a custom DB connection to ask questions to the database
