Answer 1

I think rather than connect to a database remotely, you want to use REST services to get and post data to your remote database.  

You can create a REST service to wrap your remote database query and return via http, JSON (which I prefer) or XML.

In your android app you can do an http get or post to consume the aforementioned service
