How to retrieve data from sql server db in android

Asked 7 years, 8 months ago Modified 1 month ago Viewed 21k times

this is the first time I am developing an android application. I want to bind some data with
grid view or list view based employee id provided on the text box. How can I do that. Please
0 help me to find a proper solution. Thank you.

ConnectionClass.java:

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.os.StrictMode;
import android.util.Log;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

/**
* Created by H-PC on 16-Oct-15.
*/
public class ConnectionClass {

String ip = "******";
String classs = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
String db = "IDB";
String un = "sa";
String password = "admin123";

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public Connection CONN() {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
Connection conn = null;
String ConnURL = null;
try {

Class.forName(classs);
ConnURL = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://" + ip + ";"
+ "databaseName=" + db + ";user=" + un + ";password="
+ password + ";";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(ConnURL);
} catch (SQLException se) {
Log.e("ERRO", se.getMessage());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("ERRO", e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ERRO", e.getMessage());
}
return conn;
}
}

You cant access sql server directly ...

First you need to make a web service because your database sits on your host not on your
0
phone memory card , web service process a request from app and responds accordingly.That
is, you pass some SQL query parameters from app to the web service and let your web service
handle the request. This web service can be of any type JAVA, PHP, etc. You just need to use
standard HTTP methods. click

Here is an example of how you can display data gathered from a database in to a listview.

0 final ListView listView = getListView();

final String[][] _customerData = MySQL.Get("SELECT Id,Name,Surname FROM
customers");
final List<Integer> _currentCustomerIDs = new ArrayList<>();
final List<String> _nameList = new ArrayList<>();

for (String[] customer : _customerData)

{
_currentCustomerIDs.add(Integer.valueOf(customer[0]));
_nameList.add(customer[2] + " " + customer[1]);
}
listView.invalidateViews();
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.setAdapter(getListAdapter());
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(this, R.layout.customer_list,
_nameList.toArray()));

You need to make a select query, then declare a list of integers, iterate through that list, add it
to your arraylist, and finally add it to your listview.

Above is an example adding integers as well as strings to your list with data gathered from a
jdbc database.

Good luck, Hope it helps!
