Database in server for Android application
<p>I am doing a research on how databases work in android applications and i have been confused. I have experience with PHP/MySQL databases for websites where i have a database in phpmyadmin and i can access those dbs via php/mysql queries. I thought it would be like that for android apps but it seems that i was wrong. I have also experience with MongoDB and Java but for local side purposes.</p>

<p>My question is what is the equivalent method in Android applications? </p>

<p>I have read about SQLite and what i understood is that it works for local purposes. I expect a lot of data coming in my application so this would not work for me.</p>

<p>So, what i need to know is how can i have a database on a server (like phpmyadmin in web and mysql) for an android application and how can i access this database.</p>

<p>I am using android studio so Java is the programming lanuage. Could i just communicate with the database in phpmyadmin via Java?</p>

<p>Any tutorials, books are very very welcome.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
