Fetching data from mysql using an android based client

I have a server, that is developed using JAVA (netbeans), and a client开发者_StackOverflow中文版 which is an ANDROID device, I have a very simple database in mysql which runs on the server, all I want to do is to fetch the data using my android client, from the remote sever. where server and client are connected via Wifi.

You could create a RESTful web service on your server that would take HTTP requests from the Android client and return HTTP responses using JSON.
