    <p>You're right that you'll need some sort of datastore on the server side to store your data. It could be a traditional RDBMS database (mysql or postgresql), or something newer like a noSQL solution (mongodb, riak, couchdb). Parse looks cool, but I've never tried it.</p> <p>For my recent Android project, I've been using Couchbase's Android libraries (<a href="http://www.couchbase.org/get/couchbase-mobile-for-android/current" rel="noreferrer">http://www.couchbase.org</a>) with ektorp (<a href="http://www.ektorp.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.ektorp.org</a>) that allow me to replicate to a server-side CouchDB instance. It's been great for a number of reasons:</p> <ul> <li>uses HTTP to send data by default</li> <li>sends the data in a JSON format (no converting - binding/serializing)</li> <li>simple 'replicate' command in ektorp to pull/push data between client and server</li> </ul> <p>Also, based on the datastore you choose, you'll still need to decide on a few things:</p> <ul> <li>What format will you send the data to the server? I'd recommend JSON. Other options are XML or YML.</li> <li>How will you convert that data on the client for transport? The jackson-json library is awesome if you choose JSON.</li> <li>Do you need a middle-tier to protect and/or translate your chosen data format? You might want to check out Spring MVC for building restful based webservices if you require a middle-tier.</li> </ul> <p>It might seem daunting (server-side stuff tends to feel that way sometimes), but keep at it and you'll get it!</p>
