Dont connect directly to a database from a mobile phone. Use webservices either SOAP or REST. You are opening a can of worms by exposing your database directly to the internet.

Also if you want to expand and include other phones i.e. iPhone and Android to your database then you are going to have lots of different code to maintain.

See this answer Android access to remote SQL database for more information about this.
