JDBC drivers are never used directly by JDBC applications. In a JDBC application you reference the URI name of the driver in DriverManager.getConnection(). That is the only time you ever see the driver and you never actually call a method on the driver itself in a JDBC application. This has nothing to do with Android. It is just part of JDBC.
