Android itself can't interact with a remote database. What you need is bridge between these two. That can be a webservice or may be a servlet.

Request
-----------
Android---->Servlet----->Database

Response
----------
Database----->Servlet----->Android

In the second case they are using URLConnection class instead of using HttpClient class. However as far as I have seen when you are on android it's better to use HttpClient class.

I suggest you to use Awake SQL, a virtual JDBC Driver that is supported on Android with a dedicated packaging. Awake SQL has a

dual license (Open Source -LGPL v2.1 & commercial)

Disclaimer: I'm the author of Awake SQL.

Awake SQL allows you to code JDBC calls in Android. The JDBC calls are routed through HTTP and executed on the remote server.

The result is sent back using JSON.
The database is not accessed directly: the JDBC calls are filtered by a (configurable) Servlet on the remote server.

Awake SQL supports all major Open Source and commercial databases.

More info at: http://www.awake-sql.org
