I try to develop a multiplayer game in android,so far I developed the game on client side and it works fine,but now I got to know how I develop the server side. How people can play in the internet? The game is turns base,all I need to know is what to start with,I have read some articles about it but I can't understand if I need to pruchase a server and how to connect the server via android.

Thanks for the help.

If you are distributing your game only through Google Play you can use Google Play Games Services to develop multiplayer games without the need for a server.

Check here for more details https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/realtimeMultiplayer

It's simple and easy to get started.

You need a server API for multiplayer game,

for example 1st player moved to position 25.

send a post request to http://example.com/move with some parameters(like postion,etc)

and other side he can continuously check for move

use PHP,MySql,Slim frame work to make an API.

i found an tutorial for you http://www.androidhive.info/2014/01/how-to-create-rest-api-for-android-app-using-php-slim-and-mysql-day-12-2/
