    [Don't do this please](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29046305/can-android-connect-directly-to-mysql-without-php). Exposing your MySQL instance to the outside opens up a big potential security hole. Rather, maintain a web server which in turn talks to MySQL, and then open up your web server to the outside. – Tim Biegeleisen Jan 17 '19 at 10:56
  • Hi, could you please tell how to do this, i am not much known about this – Noorul Haarisha Jan 17 '19 at 11:09
  • use volley dependencies – Alpesh Savaliya Jan 17 '19 at 11:14
  • Just expose your data building a REST API layer. Exposing data by directly connecting to the database is a very bad practice – Gregorio Palamà Jan 17 '19 at 11:17

You should not do this. Instead you should use REST APIs to communicate with database.
