java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.sqlite.JDBC Androidstudio Java Module

Question

I have no clue (too stupid), why my app doesn't find the jdbc class at runtime:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.sqlite.JDBC

Do you have any hint ? Complete Simplified usecase in this repo : https://bitbucket.org/solvapps/jdbcapp

I have added a module called "maintain" to my Androidstudio project for maintaining stuff, which should not be included in the app. (I have done this already with another app).

My maintain gradle :

apply plugin: 'java'

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

sourceCompatibility = "1.8"
targetCompatibility = "1.8"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
    compile 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.16.1'
    compile 'commons-net:commons-net:3.3'
    compile 'org.zeroturnaround:zt-zip:1.11'
    compile 'org.zeroturnaround:zt-zip:1.11'
    compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.5'
}

After sync I see the jar in External Libraries.

My code, which is not red :

 public static void connect(String language, boolean readonly) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException, IOException {

        // Hole DBPath
        String dbpath = Constants.getDbName(language);

        Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        SQLiteConfig config = new SQLiteConfig();

        if (readonly){
            config.setReadOnly(true);
        }else{
            config.setReadOnly(false);
        }

        connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:" + dbpath,config.toProperties());
    }

Answer 1

try{  
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");  
        Connection con;
        con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:8080/DBName","root","root");  
        //here DBName is database name, root is username and password  
        Statement stmt=con.createStatement();  
        ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from Table_name");
        //Table_name is Table Name Which Must Exist IN Your Database
        while(rs.next())  
        System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+"  "+rs.getString(2)+"  "+rs.getString(3));  
        con.close();  
    }catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e);}  
    } 

You Must Add mysql-connector.jar File to Your Libraries, You can Download File From Here

Answer 2

org.sqlite.JDBC belongs to sqlite-jdbc jar, you need to include this jar in your classpath. You can use gradle to download jar from maven repository. Find the gardle depedency

compile 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.8.11'
