title: Android database with Google Cloud SQL and Google Datastore
body: <p>I'm having a lot of troubles to manage to have an online database for my Android app. I'll store some basic data of people with really basic relationships between tables. Also, I'll save some small photos but generally Strings and numbers.</p>
  
  <p>I've downloaded and somehow understood the Google's "mobile backend starter": <a href="https://developers.google.com/cloud/samples/mbs/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/cloud/samples/mbs/</a></p>
  
  <p>But in that example they use Google Datastore as a database and I can't find an example on how to do it with Google Cloud SQL. Is there a possiblitity to communicate directly with the database from the Android App or do I have to create PHP webservices as if I would be using a regular MySQL database?</p>
  
  <p>I know it's not going to be as easy as if I would be using SQLite, but I don't know where to start!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
