title: Connecting Android app to amazon RDS
body: <p>I have an Android application and I want to move my local database in the cloud. I decided for a SQL database and not for a NoSQL, because I want to execute complex queries. I created a database instance in RDS from Amazon and I populated the database. </p>
  
  <p>Now I want to connect my mobile app to my cloud database. I sow samples for NoSQL database connection, but I wasn't able to find examples for RDS. I saw that it is recommended to create a web service and connect to that web service, but it seems much more complicated than using a NoSQL and this doesn't feel right.</p>
  
  <p>Does Amazon offer some API/service for Android - RDS connection? Do you know any sample code that handles this aspect?</p>
