Connecting mysql Database in ANDROID using PHP & JSON

 To implement this tutorial you should have basic knowledge of how to run PHP script and start server.  If we talk about client-server architecture, client is Android device and in server side there is a combination of PHP Script and MySQL. In short, PHP Script sits in middle as shown in image.



Lets suppose that we have a MySQL database named Employee, and a table int created, with the following SQL:



CREATE TABLE `employee` (
  `emp_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `emp_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`emp_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;


The PHP code will be very simple:



Now Create Android Project : 


The Android part is only a bit more complicated:
-use a HttpPost to get the data

-convert response to string
-parse JSON data in to List



In Your First Activity :

    1. Both items & is are Global Variable. like:

      public class mainActivity extends Activity{

      public ArrayList items = new arrayList();
      String is;

      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
      // rest of all code
      }

      }

  5. I've managed to make the program work. However, I seem to encounter an unexpected error. What is shown on the browser when I run the php file separately also shows when I run the application on my Android phone. Any thoughts on what may be the cause? Thanks!

Stop Babysitting your AI Coding Agent Every Single Session

  Watched a video by DSquaredLabs on " No more re-explaining: Give your AI agent a memory graph " — here's what stuck with me and why I think this three-tool system is worth your attention If you work on a large codebase with AI coding tools, you already know the ritual. Open a new chat, paste your file structure, explain your stack, describe how the modules connect — and repeat the whole thing tomorrow. It is not a minor inconvenience. It is a compounding productivity tax that gets worse as your project grows. This article breaks down a three-tool system designed to fix exactly that. If you want the full walkthrough with a live demo on a real monorepo, the video at the bottom covers everything in depth — but the core concepts are worth understanding before you dive in. The Problem With How Most Developers Use AI Today Most AI-assisted coding workflows are missing three things that every good engineering team actually has: A map of the codebase A process for how w...
