Here are my two cents:

You don't want to have a connectivity to SQL Server from your Android App. Infact, SQL Server should not be known to your App at all.

Instead, introduce if you don't have already some sort of web or REST service (read as Web API) which can do the basic CRUD operations for your Android App.

Look at the few links below to get a headstart:
