android programming can httpurlconnection be used in webroot -
i wondering can connect android webroot of project in order communicate mysql or can done web url? instance examples have seen off android communicating mysql using url such
url url = new url("www.mysite.net/connect.php"); httpurlconnection urlc = (httpurlconnection) url.openconnection(); but possible this
url url = new url("mysite/webroot/connect.php"); httpurlconnection urlc = (httpurlconnection) url.openconnection(); the reason being not have website , examples of connecting databases use valid url.
httpurlconnection it's name implies:
- connect url, gives ip address connect to
- use http protocol communicate server
first of all, think you're trying achieve local database, database resides on android phone itself. in case, httpurlconnection unrelated :)
there plenty of tutorials , references connecting local database, should start here: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/databases.html
however, if trying connect remote database (a database living within internet, , not phone), that's complex beast wishing tackle :p , also unrelated httpurlconnection, mysql has it's own communication protocol not http. recommended access database via restful api, translates website.
good luck
