how to enter binary data into sql server from my android application

[Suzzane Pinto]

i want to insert the binary data from my andriod application...i am a beginner in andriod
and have no idea about connecting to database

[Tim Moores]

Android shouldn't connect to a DB directly; you need to go through a proxy, most easily an HTTP server. You can use the HttpClient library to connect to the HTTP server (maybe a servlet), and that in turn can access the DB.

hi;

and what if the database is in the ftp server???

[Suzzane Pinto]

can anyone tell me how to create webservices in andriod...any good tutorial???
i think using webservices i can access database through my andriod application..

[Tim Moores]

I'm not aware of a DB that can communicate with an FTP server, so I'm not sure what good that would do.

You don't create web services on Android, you consume them. Using a library like HttpClient (which is built into the Android API) that's relatvely easy. Any HttpClient tutorial (check its web site) will do.

The choice of server-side language doesn't matter to the client side.

See my previous two posts.

hi,
i did not get a proper solution over this.can someone else help me with this as i am a newbee and need better suggeastions to start...

If using the HttpClient library to access a WS in an Android app is too challenging, start by using it in a desktop app. Its web site has plenty of examples; have you gotten those to work yet? If not, what was the problem?

If you don't have the WS yet, start reading up on the Jersey library that implements the JAX-RS API. Its web site, too, has plenty of example codes that are ready to run.

I'm not sure what else to suggest, you have to start digging in yourself at some point.

[Suzzane Pinto]

can you provide me links to refer what you suggested?

[Tim Moores]

Umm, are you saying that -using a search engine of your choice- you can't find the Jersey and HttpClient web sites?
