I use Android Studio to program an application which allows you to access a Firebird database
I already read that it is not recommended to connect the app directly with the database. Therefore I would highly appreciate if someone could provide a step-by-step instruction on how to establish a connection between a Firebird database and an android application.

I have an Android app that needs to retrieve info from a server that isn't related to the app.
I'll try to be more clear:
There's a server that is being updated every once in a while, and I need the devices to retrieve data from that server. How can I achieve this?
I thought about SQLite but I don't seem to understand how it will connect to an external database that isn't on the device
I wonder if there are any possibilities to connecting to an Amazon hosted MySQL database via a Google App Engine hosted application.
Everything I've found so far indicates that I can connect to googles cloud SQL
Google Cloud SQL
Thank you for any ideas and help!
Yes, you can use GAE's Remote API to connect to an AppScale deployment backed by MySQL running on AWS and store data or replicate it.
You can find instructions on how to configure your app to use Remote API here.
There are also instructions on running AppScale with MySQL.
The title kind of says the most of it but I want to connect to SQL using my Android app that I have in development so I made a sample set of code just to test the concept without using android and it worked. When I tried to use it on Android it doesn't work (connection error) is there a permission I need to request in my manifest? Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can not establish JDBC connections to remote database in android either you should use SQLite DB on device or write socket based interface between your device and hosted machine or the most appropriate way of doing this is using REST webservices.
I am developping an Android app with a sql server, when we try to get records out of the database, we can view them in the java console.
However, when we test our app on Android, the connection is null and we do not see any records?
We're using JTDS 1.2.5 to connect with the database. On Android we receive a SQL-exception when the app attemps a 'getConnection()'
Could you please write the stack trace?
It could be very useful in order to solve the problem.
Without seeying it I can suppose that maybe you've incorrectly loaded the SQL JDBC driver and for this reason the program is unable to load the class.
I'm creating an Android App that would have to access a database on my PC. I know how to program in Java and access a MySQL on my PC using JDBC ODBC. Could anyone lead me to the right place?
android don't support jdbc.
why don't you make a application-server?
the architecture is this.
Android <<--(using REST/JSON)-->>Application-Server(including JDBC or ODBC) <<-->> Database
using json or rest is good to reduce data traffic.
and generally the application server is faster than Android device.
