Yes, you can connect to a database using JDBC in android. Just add this line to your gradle dependency:

 compile group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '5.1.44'

And don't forget to change the version according to your need.

After adding this, gradle sync will be taking care of everything, you just have to connect to DB in the same way as you do in simple java jdbc program.
