将MySql与Android Studio连接

Question

Well I have some errors when I put the MySQL connector and I don`t know why.

I have researched in here(stackoverflow) and I've tried to change the build.gradle app or the modules and it doesn't working. If anyone knows what's the problem it would help me a lot.. Thank You..

Errors:

Error:Error converting bytecode to dex:
Cause: Dex cannot parse version 52 byte code.
This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above.
If you are using the 'java' gradle plugin in a library submodule add 
targetCompatibility = '1.7'
sourceCompatibility = '1.7'
to that submodule's build.gradle file.


Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

Errors in Android Studio

I add my code to:

build.gradle app:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'


android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.informatica.xabiagame"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-alpha9'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.6.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.6.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.6.1'
    compile project(':MySQL')
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Project module:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

MySQL module:

configurations.maybeCreate("default")
artifacts.add("default", file('mysql-connector-java-5.1.37-bin.jar'))

Answer 1

My be a bit late, but I have just found the solution for this problem:

1. MySQL connector 5.1 is compiled with Java 8.
2. Even now Android Studio 2.3 is not directly supporting Java 8.

3. You could write in the app/build.gradle this code:

    android { defaultConfig { jackOptions { enabled true } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } }
