The technique used is adaptable to any database server (SQL Server, PostGRES, etc...)</p> <p>As you probably know, Android does not have a built in functionality to access remote databases, instead it uses SQLLite, a flat file system.</p> <p>However, using Java EE 7 and a simple PHP connectivity script, it is practically trivial to do the basic CRUD operations on a remotely hosted database.</p> <p>Bring a laptop with Java 7 and Android SDK with Eclipse installed, and get ready to code. Or just bring yourself, and a sheet will be passed to have the connection code EMAILED to you after the venue.</p> <p>About the speaker: Sean Walsh (aka Azadi) is the current vice chair of the Portland State Chapter of the ACM. Sean is currently finishing his Bachelor's of Computer Science with a Mathematics Minor at Portland State University, and has industry experience with deploying mobile apps for Android.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.acm.pdx.edu">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
