What is the best way to store MySQL database for Android apps

Question

I know this is not a type of question that should be asked on this platform, but I really need an good insight from the people who have worked in this field. I want to set up a database for my Android app. My app has no Image or Media data, it's all text for now, like user posts, likes and dislikes. I am thinking of storing all this in SQL tables. I want to perform tasks like auto deletion of entries after a certain time they have been entered. Store likes and dislikes, deletion of posts based on their dislikes, (if dislikes cross certain threshold, I want the post to be deleted.) I was thinking of using PHP and use hosting from a basic hosting provider like, hostgator or something like that. Though I am worried about the performance. For now I don't expect large no of users, only few hundred a day. But they will be interacting with the database all the time for eg, liking a post, disliking a post etc. It would be really nice if someone could guide me into right path. Thanks!!

You need to develop web services for doing that.According to me rest api is best for the task you wanna do. check the link for demo. http://www.androidhive.info/2014/01/how-to-create-rest-api-for-android-app-using-php-slim-and-mysql-day-12-2/

您可以使用内置的SQLite数据库（这是android开发中的标准功能），也可以将它们存储在MySQL实例的服务器上的后端中，该应用程序可以通过一个宁静的Web服务访问您的数据。
