How can I make an online database for an android app?
I am making an android app about the impressive speech and I want to make a database storing accounts of users so they can retrieve their progress anytime anywhere. But how can I make it online so it is accessible from every device?
You have to use a service such as Firebase or write a backend-server which runs a database (for example using Spring Boot and a simple H2 database would solve it).
the best solution for your problem is to use Firebase and especially Firebase Database.
Another solution is to use Parse Server.

Is MongoDB is a good choice to use with Android Studio to my project ?
I understood that I need first to connect it to Realm and by Realm I use MongoDB.
Do you think its a good DB to use with Android? if it is, do you have any good guides for it?
If not, is there any other DB to use that is easy to learn\use?
PS
I dont want to use Firebase, because of its pricing.
Thank you .
MongoDB is also available for android
The only problem is that it does not have well-structured documentation for android..
I recently managed to connect my android application to the remote database
here is a sample unit application
https://github.com/i-sachinkumar/MongoDB-for-Android
Its readme file contains all the steps to be followed in the back-end as well as in the android studio
Enjoy
I going to implement a login, register and login with guest. May I know how did I go first? And how can I store the user in local or database? Which one will suggest? And I will using a google map, I hope the database or storage can log the user with google map api location.
If you do not want to write a backend for the user management, you can use Firebase. It is very simple to use in Android Studio with built-in methods.
Beginner here.
I'm creating an app in Android Studio (Java) where the user can create and store PDFs on the app and send these to another account on the same app, on a different device.
The user will have a list of contacts stored in a database.
Do I need a server to do this? Are there any tutorials online showing one how to code this? (I've been searching for hours but can't find anything specific to my problem. Maybe I'm wording it wrong...)
I was looking into Firebase but I'm completely lost on where to start.
Thanks!
For simple use cases you don't need a server, you can use firebase instead. Currently, they have a storage feature that lets you store files on their servers and retrieve them later.
Here is the official documentation firebase cloud storage
One thing you could do is upload the file from android device and download from another one.
Can I use firebase - database to replace my xampp? As to use my crud operations online? I'm trying to make an android app and making the desktop as the server to make the crud operations for the android app.
Yes sure you can. But remember firebase is not feature rich as mysql or other relational databases. Further you can read following answers.

Yes you can use Firebase, but what is rationale behind selecting Firebase?
I am developing an app in Android. I would like to attach a database (created in C++) to my app Android that my Android app could read. In which format should I create this database with my C++ program?
Android provides a built in SQLite database, which is used by the applications developed for it. The Android SDK provides a well-defined, easy-to-use API to this database, and as long as you don't have a real special need for your own database, I would suggest using it.
You might want to have a look at sqlite (www.sqlite.org/).
sqlite - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html
SqlLite is the built-in database. Portable across Android, iPhone, HTML5 and just about every embedded system.
I take it that your question is how to create a database on a host computer (using C++) and transfer it to the Android App. If so, then have your C++ program create a SqlLite database on your host computer and then either package the database with the app, or download it into the App's data folder from a server.

Realm can save you thousands of lines of code & weeks of work,
and lets you craft amazing new user experiences."
For C++ program you can use C/C++ Interface For SQLite. Check out the tutorial An Introduction To The SQLite C/C++ Interface.
