 On another note, learning to use the debugger is pretty easy, and super

That's ultimately what put me on the right track.  As it turns out, there
is some conflicting information.  The tables I try to read from don't
exist in the online version of the database (as indicated by an error
message in the debugger) and yet, a query on those tables returns all of
the expected data ... correctly.

The biggest thing I did was, upon seeing a new example, remove the
try/catch for the cursor and replace it with if (c != null).  That's
when it started working right, and those tables that don't exist gave
the cursor the exact data that's in them.  :-)

I don't understand the conflicting information, but hopefully that can
get sorted out sooner or later.

As to what code I'm using for the DataBaseHelper class, it's mostly
adapted from this example:
http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

The SQL query itself (just one test one so far) is from many tutorials
with my own limited SQL experience providing the SQL portion.

Thanks,

 I'm trying to use an SQLite table with Android (and for almost the first
 time, period, but I familiarized myself with it using SQLite3 /
 tclsh8.4), and I've run into a bit of a problem where I can't seem to
 spot the error.

Update:  There may be a problem with the initial copying of the
database.  The copy in assets (according to ls -l is 150528,
but long size = new File(db.getPath()).length(); reports a size
of 12288.

Does Android silently do compression of the database?  Or was it only
partially copied, thus likely explaining the error?

[android-developers] Re: Database access.

2012-05-23 Thread Károly Holczhauser
Hello there!

 I had done the same, but a little different way.
 I found an xml library which was able to send messages to an
server( IP and Port). I had created another project (normal java) and
I had implemented there a server which was able to recive the android
clinet requests and communicate with MySql DB.
 After the development completed I had exported into a jar file the
server and just start it from a command line.

cheers,
Karoly

 Hello everybody ,

 I've just started Android application development only for my use. I
 succeed to develop small apps. Now, I'm trying to enhance my android
 development skills further and want to access central MySql database server
 from my android tablet / phone, like adding, deleting, modifying into the
 database using android coding.

 I'd appreciate your immediate answer on this topic.

[android-developers] Re: Database access from another android phone.

2012-03-30 Thread Chris Stratton
Since devices on mobile networks generally can't be reached by incoming 
connections, you will probably have to have a server somewhere which all 
the mobile clients check in with so it can forward traffic between them 
(possible using C2DM to get their attention).

You will have to build functionality into the app running on each device so 
that it can accept requests for db operations from the server.

Do think about the privacy, battery life, and data plan limit/charges 
implications of what you are building.

[android-developers] Re: Database Access from Android Application

2012-01-22 Thread Matt Clark
John,
The web script does not allow for open queries, it takes in the users
username, password, and device id, and authenticates them with the
server, before it then takes and executes a built in query on the
script, using more POST data. If i store each persons information into
different Tables, then the only thing that people can mess with is the
information for which they have a password to modify. This is what i
am currently using with PHP, and i see your point about embedding the
SQL information in the app.

 That is not a good idea, for security reasons. That would mean that
 your database is open for the script kiddies of the world to attack,
 and that your database credentials are embedded in an APK for anyone
 to extract.
