Android: how to load a db file on server?

Question

I am developing an application where users can upload their own recipes. So, I want to create and put a sqlite .db file on my server and modify the database when users upload their recipes. Is this even possible? Instead, it seems that there is a way to connect an Android application to MySQL, but some people say it is not recommended to use MySQL in android.

Answer 1

You will probably need to create a web service to communicate with your app. There are many ways to do this. Here are a few good tutorials that might help you.

Use SQLite for data stored on the Android device, and whatever DB you think is appropriate on the server.

Answer 2

Depends on your application. If it's a small, use Mongo db in the server side. And upload JSON Format to your server. It will save into mongo directly.
