Default Android App & Website Setup help

I have searched a few times here and have found nothing, so i'm sorry if there are existing threads on this issue.

I am working on an app that needs to be able to read from (and possibly write information to) my website. The website will be designed for this app.

I understand that android uses SQLite databases to hold local information for an application.

How am I supposed to make my application read information from my website. Do i set up a SQLite database on my server and have the app pipe into that somehow?

I am in very preliminary design stages of both my app and my website. I would like to design them from the getgo so my application can get the information as easily as possible for this website. (it will possibly sumbit information to my website as well, wiki-style).

thanks for all your help. if threads like this exist, please by all means make fun of me for neglecting the search button! But I have purchased two programming books and I still cannot find an answer that is even pointing me in *any* direction.

Default Anybody have a good tutorial on this subject?

I've been wondering about this too. I really like the new XDA android forum app and was wondering if there is a guide or video on this. Since XDA had one I KNOW its possible.

If I were you I would make a PHP (or whatever you use) bridge which can perform actions in your site. You can use get methods to tell the bridge what would you like to do. The XDA app uses this method, but instead of GETs it uses XML-RPC
