[chackochy]

Hi,

I am new to android application. I want to build an android application as below. Can you please guide me to start with?

1. Android application should be able to store the contacts in a phone to a remote database.
So even if loose my phone, my contacts should be available in that database.


2. After buying a new phone, I should be able to retrieve the contacts to my new phone using the same android application.



To achieve this where should I start..?
Should I use SQLlite..?
How can I connect from my phone to a remote database..?
etc...


Can you please guide me to start my application development..?



Thanks in Advance.

Why don't you use the sync feature of Android? It backs everything up to Google Contacts and does everything you said above.
