Currently I am working on a simple app which will be able to connect to MongoDB which is deployed in Google Cloud. I have set it up MongoDB ocaly on my computer and I have made a little JAVA console app which connects to local MongoDB an I am able to do certain tasks like creating new collections, databases, retrievieng collections, deleting databases and collections, everything is working locally.
Problem which I have is that I want to connect Android App to the MongoDB which is deployed on Google Cloud. I have read on the web that I need to use some REST API to this task such as Crest Node.js but in other resource their saying it is impossible to connect like that. I am a bit confused, can you please explain me what I need to do make a sucessfull connection to the MongoDB from Android?
Edit@ What I have found out that one on Google Cloud there is only database created, there is no any virtual instance of Linux based system deployed so do I have to create a new Linux instance, install mongoDB in this instance and also a REST API and then make a connection with the server?
