can I use the same database for android which I used for ios?

Question

I need to know that whether we can use same database or URL for ios as well as android.

For example I am logged in with android so in the section where we use the URL , can we use the same URL for android which we use for ios. Actually I want to make an app for ios and android both.

But I want to make only one database for both that is android and ios. I have tried using one URL in my login activity which was working on ios..but its not working.can somebody guide me?

Yes. It is very possible. It depends on the method youu are using to retrieve/send data to the database. The most popular ways to do the same is use of REST or SOAP to do client-server communication. Both work fine, but you will need to learn about doing the same. I would recomment REST for android since it is the most commonly used and is also easy to understand and use.For Ios i would recommend the AFNetworking library, speed is recommendable. You can download the library using this link:
