Android Question Connecting remotely to local database in a pc using real android device(B4A-bridge).

Do you have more than one instance of MySQL running on the PC? The default port for MySQL is 3306, yet PHPMyAdmin is connected to 3308. Since you left out the port number in your JDBC URL, the jRDC2 server should be connecting to a MySQL database running on port 3306, not 3308.

I also notice a different port number.

Try edit the config.properties to:

Hello Guys,

Thank you all for the support. I have tried what you guys suggested and at last, it works fine, I can now connect to my local database and read data.
I am not sure what was the exact issue but I will share what I did.

I followed the steps on this link https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/db-mysql-with-jrdc2.93302/#post-590325
I added the port 3308 on the config properties as suggested : JdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3308/example?characterEncoding=utf8
I then noticed I didn't have java installed on my laptop so I installed it.

Again thanks for the support guys, much appreciated.

Nice that your connectivity problem is solved. Next time you run in connectivity problems you can use a freeware program like PuTTY and make a (remote) TELNET connection to the supposed port on the IP address. If you send a CR or any other character to the remote server. If you receive anything including garbage, from the remote site, Then you know that the connectivity is ok.
