You don't connect directly to the ddbb, instead, you should create a webservice with your preferred server language (c#, php, etc) which will handle the ddbb connection and business logic, passing the data to the android application using SOAP or JSON.

I once had the same problem and found the following link, it helped me much, BUT later i realized, that you should not do it at all, and should use an easy to create web service.
