Android : Is JDBC supported in Android devices?

Question

I am doing an Android application using JDBC to send data to database without using any web services. I did an experiment using Android 2.2 emulator and I am able to send data to MySQL DB (LOCALHOST). After that I tried to send using Android 2.2 device, I changed the path from jdbc:mysql://10.0.2.2:3306/ with jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:3306/.

xx.xx.xx.xx is from ipconfig of my localhost machine. But it is not working in the device. What could be the reason.

Main doubts:

1. Do Android devices currently support JDBC?
2. Will Android 2.2 support JDBC?
3. If supported, which Android versions will support JDBC?

Answer 1

Yes. You must remember to put your JDBC connection code in an AsyncTask, otherwise you will BURN BURN BURN!
