Anyone know if it's possible, practical and safe to access an online database through an Android App?
We have a database that is accessible through a web browser (using JDBC), but I'd like to collect observations in a form on an Android App, store this in a local database, and then from a menu item, upload directly into the web database.
To store data over the web, the user has to login with username and password, so we would want the same level of security when passing these data over HTTP or such like.
Ideally I'd like to call some data from the online database to populate a dropdown menu too, but I haven't managed to get this to work either.
