What's the best way to connect an Android App to MySQL?

I would like to write an Android App (with Android Studio) which uses a MySQL database.

What's the best way to implement it?

I have found on internet that I should write php files which send queries to the database. Then the php page return a JSON object which should be processed by the Android App (or something like that...).
Is this solution safe? Because I have to handle sensitive data like emails or GPS position.

Or else, are there other safe ways to let Android App connect to and retrieve information from the database?

You can call a web service which connects to your server, and a back-end program written in nodejs or PHP or Java or Python or any other programming language which has support (connectors/libraries) for MySQL database.
