How to use a JDBC driver different than the default SQLDroid driver with JDXA ORM?

dperiwal · December 2015

Here are the steps to use a new non-default JDBC driver with JDXA ORM:

1- Define a class, say MyDatabaseAndJDX_Initializer, that extends the class com.softwaretree.jdxandroid.DatabaseAndJDX_Initializer

2- Override the following two methods in the class MyDatabaseAndJDX_Initializer to provide the new JDBC driver specific values:


   /**
     * Returns the the fully expanded class name of the JDBC driver to be used by JDX ORM.  
     * A subclass may override this method to provide a non-default JDBC driver name.
     * <p> 
     * @return JDBC Driver class name
     */
    protected String getJDBCDriverClass() {
        return "org.sqldroid.SQLDroidDriver";
    }

    /**
     * Returns the prefix for the JDBC url as per the JDBC driver used.   
     * A subclass may override this method to provide a non-default value.
     *  
     * @return JDBC url prefix
     */
    protected String getJDBCPrefix() {
        return "jdbc:sqldroid:";
    }

3- In the method AppSpecificJDXSetup.initialize() of you app, add the following statement (see the sample project JDXAndroidListExample1 for an example):
setDatabaseAndJDX_InitializerClass(ormId, MyDatabaseAndJDX_Initializer.class);

4- Add the new JDBC driver code (e.g., its jar file as a library) in your project

Same steps can be followed for any other similar driver or these are specific to JDBC driver?

Good question. JDXA uses a JDBC driver to interface with a SQLite database. So the above steps are meant for a JDBC driver.

How can we help you?

Howdy, Stranger!
