There is no official support for JDBC on Android. There is a private SqlLite driver, but it's not recommended as it is unsupported and might go away in the future.

So the recommended way is to not use internal (private) SQlite driver and instead create a REST layer on server through which you access data. This is a recommended way as it minimizes load on device side and also gives you opportunity to create authentication on the server side - having publicly accessible JDBC connection is a big no-no.
