WCF in Android

Riya Sehgal

HI friends,

I want to work with SQL in Android. My question is that like I used WCF service and LINQ to SQL class in Windows Phone 7 to work with SQL database, same as possible in Android or not.....

Another way to program for Android is to do it using the Native Development Kit (NDK) which uses C/C++. I don't know how to use a database with it and it is not the best solution unless someone already knows C++.

There are two ways to build Android applications.
- Using Android SDK (Java)
- Using Mono for Android (C# and .NET)
Mono for Android, you can use LINQ to SQL. But in Java, it is not supported. In Java, you need to expose your data as a JSON API or a Web Service (XML). Android application can consume both methods.

Here are some Mono for Android FAQ.
