title: Android App Connecting to Database Remotely
body: <p>I'm not new to Java or databases, but I am new to Android app development. I have an app idea and have started to put it together. It's a very simple game that I would eventually like to have multiplayer capabilities. </p>
  
  <p>The part of this process that I am pretty clueless about is the backend portion of the application. I need a database that will store things like usernames and passwords, scores, and things of that sort. I will also need to store things that I will need for the game in here. The application will rely very much on the database and it is important that any device has access to it and they are all looking at the same data.</p>
  
  <p>If I've done my research right, this means that a simple SQL Lite database on the device itself isn't going to help me. Ideally, I would use SQL Server and create the database, as that's what I use for other projects... but I have no idea if this is possible or ideal.</p>
  
  <p>I really just need somebody to steer me in the right direction here. I want something simple that can be accessed easily by any device at any time.</p>
