Connecting to Database

Hi , i need to develop an android application that can do verify userlogin and display a small message if login is successful. When user enters his login details in the app, these login details need to be verified against a sql server DB , and then if the login is successful , i need to display a small message in the app. Can anybody advice on how to achieve this functionality?

What part are you struggling with? The basics of using DBs are mentioned at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db, which also links to a couple of example apps.

I have created a view for login and password. I have a Sql Server on my local machine . In these app , i need the following functionality- Whenever user enters login and password, the Credentials should be verified against existing SqlServer login table , and if login is successful , it should pull out the first name and last name fields for that login record from the table and display it for the user.

Any ideas from anybody [moderators] on how to implement the functionality in android?

Again, what part are you struggling with?
