Apps using mysql database help

[paul590]

hello im new at developing android apps and im having problems trying to figure out what to do/use in order to import a database, im developing the app using eclipse and the database is on a web site called 1and1, im not sure whats the best way to get the database from there, i've been looking around and found a lot of people use php, what would be the best way that you guys recommend? thanks again for the help!

i am working on an app currently also. i have been using php and its working well. are you looking to use the database to import a database or you just grabbing info as needed?

other options are ruby on rails and straight java. I personally find php the easier of the 3.

im just trying to grab info as i need it, and thanks i was thinking of using php as well, how are you developing the app in php? im currently using java and have some stuff there but i just need to connect to the database and php is the easiest way!

You don't actually develop the app in PHP, you just create a script to handle the queries requests that are issued from the client software (android app).
