从PHP返回Java客户端的值

Question

I am a beginner in Java and PHP.

I made a client Java app that uses webView to Pass a string to php client page which will insert this string to the DB.

my question is, how can I return a false value to the java client app in case the PHP failed to insert the string to the DB using webView.

the php code will be something like this:

 if(Insertion suceed)
{return true;}  

else {return false;}

but I dont know how to make it in the Java side.

P.S: I need the return value to display an alert to the java user to restart the app.

You could use PHP/Java Bridge to allow communication between your applications. You could also set up a REST service provided by PHP (see this previous SO question) and allow your Java application to consume that service. The PHP application just sends true/false as a response.
