Android OS and postgreSQL

android, postgresql

Solution

I would write a RestFUL API or WebService to be used as front end for your Android device to connect to your PostgreSQL backend.

I don't think you will be able to connect directly your Android App to a PostgreSQL database.

Problem

We are undertaking an Android project but need to connect to postgreSQL server which we use throughout our other projects. Any suggestions on a starting point for this? Is there anything out there (paid or unpaid) that will allow us to achieve this? I realize that this is a pretty general question, and although we have extensive experience with writing desktop client/server apps, we have little experience with programming for mobile devices.
