Access MySql Database on Server

[Rishi Agarwal]

Hi Everyone,

I have used hibernate to integrate mysql database with java classes. I am developing a Android app now and I want to access mysql database on server from my android app. I read on internet that hibernate is too heavy for Android apps and it would be better to use ORMLite. I went through documentation and sample codes today but most of them are about accessing locally stored SQLlite or h2 database. I want to know that if it is possible to access MySql database on server from my android app using ORMlite. If it is please point me to tutorial or code of some kind.

Thank You.

Rishi

Hi,

it docent matters if it is possible or not, you MUST NOT, let access to your DB in that way, you should make some web services, get some json back and parse it.

If you let you DB open like you say, it will be hacked in less than a week.

Hi David,

Thanks for your advice. I will look into how can I use JSON to access mysql database.
