What is the best way to Connect an external database in my android application and retreive data from it? i am trying to develop a simple Quiz application where the questions and their options should be retreived from database. i have created the database using SQLite Browser. I have seen lot of tutorials which tells how to create database and use it in android. But i couldnot find any tutorial which teaches me how to retreive from already created database.

Your question is not clear
If you are going to connect to a pre-created and prefilled database then you should embed that SQLite Database file in your APK and connect it and proceed like you’ve seen in tutorials. have a look at Ship an application with a database
And if you want to retrieve data from a database exists on a remote machine then you have to expose data using one of web service technologies (for instance, XML Web Services) and consume it in your Android App.
