is there any way to access web server databases by android?

Question

i want to access to my web mysql databases from android application.how can i do this? i have searched all over the internet but i didnt get anything like that. allthough i know how to recieve data from the web pages as json data.but i need something like i can acces the database directly like the web applications.

You need to setup a socket and connect using TCP like the post here:

Android client and Java server TCP communication

Then you can connect using DriverManager:

input data into android database

Most projects are not worth the overhead. Using JSON is probably easier...

Easier and safer. It is generally considered a serious security issue to have your database directly accessible on the internet.
