title: heroku android beginning
body: <p>Hi I am currently making a simple application in android that would connect to my database in Heroku and I was just wondering how I would use java code to connect to that database and fetch, and data to and from it?</p>
  
  <p>Could someone give me advice on how to start. I was looking at this code for starters <a href="https://github.com/heroku/devcenter-java-database" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/heroku/devcenter-java-database</a> but I am still confused on how to fully understand the code.  Do I need a .pom file and what is it for? And where are the values of  "DATABASE_URL" and how would I be able to connect to my database that I made in Heroku etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for the help</p>
