使用jdbc或类似的东西的Android数据库连接

I am fairly new in android programming ... I have created an android app that lets me connect to a remote database using php and mysql. I want to know if there's a way to connect to the database using jdbc and mysql workbench keeping the CRUD(Create , Read , Update , Delete) options in the client-side itself and not using server-side languages such as php.

Also if this is the best way to go forward...

Its not possible for now to use such things in android side.and if you have remote database then you can access it via HttpRequests with WebServices. for locally data storage you can use SQLite as it does not require any drivers etc or your can do File Based storage.
