Connect Android App to MySQL Database

Connect Android App to MySQL Database – In this article I will explain how to connect android mobile application into MySQL database server. Without database we can’t develop any high level application. So must need one best database to store and access files. There are more open source database available in market like SQLite, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and Cloud database of Firebase. Firebase is one of the best database its developed and maintained by google community. Its cloud based so very speed and reliable.

When compare to other database MySQL is user friendly and easy to learn quickly. Most of college student doing their projects in MySQL, online documentation and code structure will be very clear in MySQL. Five years before everyone likes to develop and publish web based web application. I mean website but now totally migrate from website to mobile application. In the mobile application domain Android have unique place when compare other platform like windows iOS blackberry etc.

Create Project

First as usual create new project and select some activity after that we connect into MySQL database for store the files,images,documents and more through the scripting language of core PHP structure. PHP helps to integrate MySQL code into android java mobile application. So in this project you need XAMPP or WAMP server. Suppose of you don’t this click here to Download XAMPP Server and activate the Apache and MySQL server.

Connect MySQL Database

Before writing the java code, first we need to integrate MySQL database to store the data. SQL queries used for perform the action of communicate with PHP language. How data will be stored and structured through the PHP scripting programming language. Create one connection file to give the credentials of server host name usernames password and database.

After give the server details, you cant directly run this code. First integrate in this code with java file then only we check if the connection is connected or not. So in the next step we create one java file for call PHP connection code.

Create Java File

Open the default file of MainActivity.java file and add the following below code. Then you can check the PHP MySQL database connection. Apart from android studio you have to download the XAMPP server and start the server of Apache and MySQL. Then only we can read and write PHP MySQL from the local server. The MainActivity.java file code is,

In this file we have to call the order.php file. The order.php files have database and server configuration files so when you call this java file its access the MySQL database depends on our needs like store or retrieve data from database through PHP server scripting language.

Insert data into Database

In this project i have just insert some data into android java application into PHP MySQL database. For insert the data we write the query of insertion code to store the files from our MySQL local or server database. The order.php file code is,

That’s it. Now you can integrate with MySQL and PHP code using the android java programming in Android Studio IDE platform. Its very simple just know the regulations only then you can easily handle the MySQL data into android mobile applications.

Download Source Code – connect android app MySQL database

Here you can download the full source code of how to connect and integrate MySQL database PHP into android java mobile application using android studio IDE. If you face any error in this project, just comment below I will try to solve your queries. If you need more android studio project click here to check and use the free android java PHP source code.
