I am running Eclipse on Windows.
Following this tutorial I downloaded JDBC4, added it to my build path using Project>Properties>add External JAR, browsed for the file, it worked (.classpath
file shows the correct lib path).
The package appears in my Referenced Libraries folder, so I continue the tutorial.
import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.SQLException; .... public void open () { try { Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } try { conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
I think it would be as simple as that but I get hit with this big long stack trace starting with
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver
(I can provide more if needed)
I tried include org.postgresql.*;
but that didn’t help either. I have also tried the JDBC3 but no luck there either.
I looked at Driver JDBC PostgreSQL with Android which provided a vague answer saying I would be better off just using HTTP+JSON. Which I have never used.
I’m brand new to Android, postgresql, web development, so a simple answer would be appreciated.
