title: Developing Android application with MySQL database?
body: <p>I'm working on an Android project using Android studio and MySQL. I have searched through the internet about ways to retrieve/fetch data from MySQL and display it on an Android device (i.e. display the data in a List or Grid view), but mostly what I've found is that people use JSON objects to do so.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is there any other way to fetch data from MySQL and display it in a List view or manipulating data between Android and MySQL without using JSON object?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time :D</p>
