What i will suggest is better to go for web services approach rather than connecting directly to database from android application. It gives you an opportunity to make your client more lightweight, both in terms of CPU and bandwidth requirement.

By splitting the system we can get more control over our business rules, the structure of database etc. If we will go for the other approach by directly connecting to the database by android app, it will be not so easy to change structure when required.

Also if you have both the web application and the android application for your business then it is a better idea to create web services and call the web methods from both kind of applications.

Hope this description will be of help to you.
