How to connect android to mysql database securely
<p>I have a phpmyadmin setup with dream host. Lets say for instance I wanted to retrieve user names and passwords from the database from android, how would I go about doing that? To access my database, I need the username and password for the database, so how can I connect through android without people being able to view the source code of my app and see the database credentials? </p>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> A big misunderstanding I have is, where do I store the php webservice file? Not on the device, right?</p>
