Talking to remote CouchDB server from Android

Question

I'm designing a turn based game similar to Words With Friends. I don't need the data to be stored persistently on the phone in a local CouchDB.

I've attempted HTTP requests using HttpPut/HttpGet and HttpClient with no success.

What is the best way to communicate with CouchDB from an Android application? What alternative database backends are available?

You should elaborate why you didn't succeed because that is the way to talk to CouchDB, using basic HTTP requests. — Octavian Helm, May 09 '12 at 09:06

I would recommend TouchDB-Android. We've been using TouchDB-iOS for our iOS apps and are planning on using TouchDB-Android when we start Android development. TouchDB has an active development community -- see this google group. You can use TouchDB to connect to a local or remote CouchdB database and to replicate between the two.
