This tutorial teaches you how to integrate PHP and MYSQL with your android application. This is very useful in case you have a webserver, and you want to access its data on your android application.
MYSQL is used as a database at the webserver and
PHP is a Scripting Language which we use to fetch data from the database into JSON format .
We will create a server side script using PHP which will get data from a MySQL database into JSON format. After that, we consume the JSON data into the Android client application. This is how we can connect Android with PHP and MySQL.
