Hi,

I am a newbie to android and developing an mobile application which is associated with a website.

In my android application there is a home screen with two buttons namely login and register. When user clicks on register, the form data has to be stored in SQL server. For that, how should I approach?
I heard that we should use webservices to connect SQL DB. But I am not aware of web service.
What is the process to connect?

Please tell me in detail.

You should have tried this: Google search: webservice for a mobile application[^]

First few links:
PPT:Incorporating Web Services in Mobile Applications[^]
Article: Accessing Web Services from a Mobile Application[^]

Webservice would talk to a database. You can place an additional layer between webserivce and database if needed.

Have database, then WebService(or wrapper) talking to that database.

sandeep..thanks for ur resposnse... do i need to install any special kind of softwares for developing webservices?

Sandeep Mewara 27-Apr-11 1:47am

No.

Read the articles and you would know all. Just the .NET framework to develop the webservice.

You need to create web service bridge ,
you can make any web service php , java , .net

You can do
android web service connect to asp web service(or any)
and asp will connect to sql server

and you will require one server as a intermediate like IIS server.
