MySQL on Android
Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2015 6:15 pm
Hello,
I have got the code below which connects to MySQL database and checks for a username and password. However it works on windows fine but when I use it on an android device I get the error 'Cant connect to TCP/IP socket (13)'. I dont really kinow why its saying this and I have checked the tick box for MySQL in the stand alone application settings. Its only a local database for a college prohjec tim doing so does not need to be too complicated.
Hopefully somebody can help. Below is the code
Thanks
Jamie

Hopefully somebody can help. Below is the code
Code: Select all
on loginCheck
-- use a global variable to hold the connection ID so other scripts can use it
global gConnectionID
-- set up the connection parameters - edit these to suit your database
put "address" into tDatabaseAddress
put "applogininfo" into tDatabaseName
put "user" into tDatabaseUser
put pass" into tDatabasePassword
-- connect to the database
put revOpenDatabase("MySQL", tDatabaseAddress, tDatabaseName, tDatabaseUser, tDatabasePassword) into tResult
-- check if it worked and display an error message if it didn't
-- & set the connection ID global
if tResult is a number then
put tResult into gConnectionID
else
put empty into gConnectionID
answer error "Unable to connect to the database:" & cr & tResult
end if
//SELECTS USER DATA FROM DATABASE AND PUTS THEM INTO VARIABLES 'theUserData & thePassData'
put "SELECT Username FROM userpass" into theUser
put revDataFromQuery(,,gConnectionID,theUser) into theUserData
put "SELECT Password FROM userpass" into thePass
put revDataFromQuery(,,gConnectionID,thePass) into thePassData
//CHECKS TO SEE IF THE INPUTS MATCH THE DATABASE RECORDS
if theUserData = the text of field "username" and thePassData = the text of field "password" then
go to card accessed
else
answer "Incorrect username or password. Please try again."
exit to top
end if
end loginCheck
