安卓mysql通信,如何让Android应用程序与外部MySQL数据库进行通信

I am really confused on how to get data in and out of an android app from the internet.

I imagined that I would store information in the mysql db on the server I already have set up. But from what I have read, I would need some type of in-between web service to make queries with data sent from the app.

Can anybody toss me some tips on how to get something like this started.

Or, if you know of a better way, let me know about it.

This question has been asked several times, for example here: Get data to android app from mysql server.

Bottom line - you don't connect directly. You have something on your server (like RESTful) that you connect with via HTTP.
