Android does indeed support direct connectivity to most databases including MySQL. Android is fully JDBC compliant and all you need to do is find and embed the correct JDBC driver inside your Android app. Most JDBC drivers are covered by GPL. The remaining problem then is to encode the necessary database result set logic. JDBC is totally secure if sufficient thought is given to database settings and router filters. JDBC avoids the need for additional cumbersome layers of SOAP or REST services.
The above is fine for simple database access, however, you may find that using a rapid application development tool such as our MobiForms Developer may be more effective. MobiForms is particularly designed for the creation of database orientated mobile apps. Most programming is done by drag and drop and by the selection of tables and columns in a true relational database approach. MobiForms supports direct access to a range of industry standard databases such as Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL. For disconnected apps or where wireless connectivity can not be guaranteed the MobiForms Sync Server is available. This provides offline bi-directional database buffering and online synchronisation for true store and forward apps. Typical apps created using MobiForms include bar coding, field service, marketing, signature capture, stock control and surveys. Often these are directly connected to back office systems such as Microsoft Navision/Dynamics, Oracle Apps and SAP etc. For more information take a look at: http://wwwmobiforms.com On Feb 1, 4:18 am, noorul <[email protected]> wrote: > Basic steps for connecting Mysql with Android sdk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
