DM-A-SQLConnector

DM-A-SQLConnector is a JDBC driver for Android's sqlite database (android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase) originally conceived by Kristian Lein-Mathisen with the project name ASQLConnector.

DM-A-SQLConnector lets you access your app's database through JDBC. Android ships with the necessary interfaces needed to use JDBC drivers, but it does not officially ship with a driver for its built-in SQLite database engine. When porting code from other projects, you can conveniently replace the JDBC url to jdbc:asqlconnector to access an SQLite database on Android.

How to use it ?

Download with Gradle :

• Adapt into your build.gradle file, the next code (minimum Java version is 11) :

     ...
     dependencies {
         ...
         api(group:'fr.distrimind.oss.asqlconnector', name: 'DM-A-SQLConnector', version: '1.0.5-STABLE')
         //optional : under Android 
         implementation(group:'fr.distrimind.oss.flexilogxml.android', name: 'DM-FlexiLogXML-Android', version: '2.2.0-STABLE')
         ...
     }
     ...

Usage

Here is a minimal example of an Android Activity implemented in Java with DM-A-SQLConnector.

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Driver;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import fr.distrimind.oss.flexilogxml.common.ReflectionTools;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Connection connection;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        try {
            DriverManager.registerDriver((Driver) ReflectionTools.getClassLoader().loadClass("fr.distrimind.oss.asqlconnector.ASQLConnectorDriver").getConstructor().newInstance());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to register ASQLConnectorDriver");
        }
        String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:asqlconnector:" + "/data/data/" + getPackageName() + "/my-database.db";
        try {
            this.connection = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        if (connection != null) {
            try {
                connection.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        }
        super.onDestroy();
    }
}

Debug output

You can turn on resultset dumps like this

fr.distrimind.oss.asqlconnector.ASQLConnectorResultSet.dump = true;
