I think handling remote database with local mobile is tricky task, you need to use some thing as middle interface to send mobile request to server and vice-verse.

Lest discuss step i have use to authenticate remote db

  • Post login data using XmlHttpRequest
  • Call remote server php file
  • Your posted data will data which is sent by mobile (GET/POST)
  • php file will authenticate that user information with mysql db (PHP MYSQL)
  • php file will respond to mobile (echo 1 /0  | 1: login 0: wrong user)

So here is the code

First create login2.java

package com.example.login2;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class login2 extends Activity {
EditText un,pw;
TextView error;
Button ok;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
un=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_un);
pw=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_pw);
ok=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
error=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_error);
ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ArrayList<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", un.getText().toString()));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", pw.getText().toString()));

//String valid = "1";
String response = null;
try {
response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://engiguide.com/check.php", postParameters);  //Enetr Your remote PHP,ASP, Servlet file link
String res=response.toString();
// res = res.trim();
res= res.replaceAll("\\s+","");
//error.setText(res);
if(res.equals("1"))
error.setText("Correct Username or Password");
else
error.setText("Sorry!! Incorrect Username or Password");

} catch (Exception e) {

un.setText(e.toString());
}}
});
}}

CustomHttpClient.java This is ready file so need to understand it just use because we are using Http request client side.
CustomHttpClient.java

package com.example.login2;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.conn.params.ConnManagerParams;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpConnectionParams;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpParams;

public class CustomHttpClient {
/** The time it takes for our client to timeout */
public static final int HTTP_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000; // milliseconds
/** Single instance of our HttpClient */
private static HttpClient mHttpClient;
/**
* Get our single instance of our HttpClient object.
*
* @return an HttpClient object with connection parameters set
*/
private static HttpClient getHttpClient() {
if (mHttpClient == null) {
mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams params = mHttpClient.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
}
return mHttpClient;
}
/**
* Performs an HTTP Post request to the specified url with the
* specified parameters.
*
* @param url The web address to post the request to
* @param postParameters The parameters to send via the request
* @return The result of the request
* @throws Exception
*/
public static String executeHttpPost(String url, ArrayList postParameters) throws Exception {
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
UrlEncodedFormEntity formEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters);
request.setEntity(formEntity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String result = sb.toString();
return result;
} finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}}}}
public static String executeHttpGet(String url) throws Exception {
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
request.setURI(new URI(url));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String result = sb.toString();
return result;
} finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}}}}}

And now the remote server PHP file (If you want to use C#.NET,ASP,JSP you can !! )
check.php

 0)
// ( $un == “ajay” && $pw == “ajay”)
echo 1;  // for correct login response
else
echo 0; // for incorrect login response
?>

And if you want to use JSP instead of php this is jsp code.
Thanks to prashant for this code!!

package web.com;

        String un,pw;
        un=request.getParameter("username");
        pw=request.getParameter("password");
        if(un.equalsIgnoreCase("prashant") && pw.equals("sharma"))
            out.print(1);
        else
            out.print(0);
    }
}

Your layout file main.xml, iamges and AndroidManifest.xml file attached in this download packge. And don’t forget to change AndroidManifest file otherwise your code will not work

Will discuss your problem just comment it :)
