How to access to WordPress database from a mobile app? - php

I have to make an Android mobile app for a website using WordPress.
How do I connect the WordPress DB to my app?

The WordPress REST API provides API endpoints for WordPress data types that allow developers to interact with sites remotely by sending and receiving JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects.

You can create a Rest API both for your web app and mobile app. So they can share same logic as backend.

How to connect a phonegap app to a database in my hosting website?

I have made a phonegap app and i want to know how to connect it to the database in my hosting website and add data?
Activate Internet permission and then use an AJAX like function to call a WEB API. This could be a script hosted from your hosting company which when called returns the data which you require in your app. This should ideally be in a standard format like JSON or XML.
Read more about REST APIs.
Read this to learn about REStfull APIs and Services.
See this post from 2011 which pulls a REST API.
API / Web Service is a code which can be written in any server side language like PHP. This script will communicate with with your Database.
These API/ Web service can be called from client, client can be a Web App / Web Site/ Mobile app, using HTTP METHODS (POST, GET etc). This API request will give response to the particular client with expected result (i.e. fetching data from database etc) and the response format can be JSON/ XML.

either json or xml services.
after that your android app can send or retrive the data from the server using webservices. So try to learn webservices.

iOS Application, Website, and Web Service - Should I use a framework?

I am developing an iOS application that will be communicating with a PHP/MySQL web service to send/receive data. My plan is to also have a website that has similar functionality to the iOS application and will also interact with the web service. Should I be using a framework to build this web service (I am thinking about Laravel)? Is it a good idea to have the web service separate from the website?
Thanks.
If you are building a native application and requires connection to your website or collecting info, I suggest you to build you own API to access the data from ios using json.

Will iphone app retrieve the pages from the server or from the app itself?

I'm new to iPhone app development. I'm building app using phonegap by importing my all html css and javascript.
My doubt is if I'm using php at the backend can i make request similar to web from the iphone app. Will iPhone app retrieve the pages that is processed from the server?
PhoneGap can access web sites listed in the WhiteList and obtain responses from them, e.g. web pages.
But such an application possibly will not pass AppStore approvement, because of it can get malicious dynamic content. (This is just my personal assumption.)
