MySQL数据库没有连接到Android应用程序

Question

My database is running fine because I tested it using Eclipse with simple Java code that just connects and reports back success or fail. I connect fine....I can even read and write to it there.

Now, when I try to do the same thing in Android Studio,the connection fails. I am on the same WiFi network.

I created a lib folder for the app and put all the extra .jar files there including the JDBC connector for MySQL that I used in Eclipse. I also went to the build.gradel file and added the line:

compile files('libs/mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar')

Do I need to make a PHP API for it to connect since right now I am trying to connect to it using this line:

 connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:port/testdb", "user", "password");  

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If you haven't you should declare your permission <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />.

Then you may want to use something like JSON to make database requests from PHP.
