Android and mysql?

Post by admin12 »

I cannot get my database app to login to a mysql server on my android device, but it works just fine on Mac and PC.

Does mysql statements work on an android app?

Mike,

I don't think it works. I might be wrong, but I have seen quite a few complaints about MySQL not working on Android. Personally, I never use LC's buit-in MySQL capabilities. I always use PHP as a layer between LC and MySQL.

Kind regards,

Mark

Mark,

Would you mind sharing your php layering knowledge? A sample project?

Thanks.

Have you had a look at SQLite?
Tested and works on Android.
All my best,

Yes, I am going to look into SQLite for my own projects, but for the client project, which is now defunct, MySql was mandatory.
