Android app as front end for Access database

tuxalot

I have a functioning survey database written in Access. I would like develop an Android app that would give my auditors the ability to complete their surveys using their mobile devices. Currently the backend of the database resides locally on each of their laptops. So the workflow would be to update a web based SQL table with a survey and once complete, to sync that data back to the local laptop. This would be an Access question and I could probably work through that bit and the reason for mentioning that is to give a clearer view of what I want to accomplish.

So the question is, where do I go to get the Android app developed? I intend to outsource this as I have no knowledge of Android programming. The Android interface would flow like this:

First screen would show a list of surveys that an auditor could select.

Second screen would show the survey sections.

Third screen would load the questions within that section.

Questions are asked by an auditor and the test subject always answers with a "yes" "no" or "n/a". If a question is answered "no" then a text comment is added.

That's the gist of it. If you all have any ideas how to accomplish this I would greatly appreciate it.
