Connecting Android to an offline SQL Database
Hi all
I am very new to Android development, this is my first app 
I am trying to connect my Android app (developing in Eclipse) to an SQL database which is placed on a local server (WAMP) but I am having a few problems (it will eventually nee to be on-line). I have followed a few tutorials online but kind of got stuck and am not sure whats going wrong.
I have the .php to the SQL working, its just the .php to the app The problem with this I am having is that when I run the project, all thats displayed is the URL of the php page and as I am so new to Android development its hard to know whats going on. Any advice would be appreciated. I have done plenty of Googleing!!
This is my Java code, if you need anything else just ask. I also have another version which just crashes onload.
