I did build an app that asks you a few questions and you pick the answer via button presses and send you to the next question in android studio, this is working perfectly.

My question is how can I go about sending this data (answered questions) to a python code im running on a PC. I want the app to send the data somehow somewhere so that my python code can get it and then put it into readable data like excel, I want to see how many times a specific answer was selected for a specific question?

I'm just looking for a simple solution for my app to store the data somewhere and the my python code retrieving it and working its magic, both sides are working perfectly I just dont have a solution for the middle. I tried setting up an SQL database but I'm not getting it right.

What could be the best solution for that ?

One solution that come to my mind is to use Google Sheets. You can access it from your Android application using their API:

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/android

And retrieve it with python, they also provide a python API for that:

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python

There is a lot of solutions to your problem, that's one answer that doesn't ask you to set up your own server. You're welcome
i am busy setting it up now, will keep you posted thanks
this is working in some sense but not exactly what im looking for. can you please help me setting up an sql database what do i need and how do i go about doing it? sql just have more features id like to use than google sheets?
I won't help you setting up an SQL database here because this is not what the question is about. Furthermore it's not a trivial thing to do, depending on how familiar you are with setting up SQL servers, which I assume you aren't otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question. If I was you I would go like this: Learn how to setup your own database server, then learn how to access it from Android and then from Python.
okay, im still trying the sheets api thing but there is not alot of help out there so im figuring it out as im going...
