使用Ucanaccess通过android设备连接到本地服务器上的mdb

Question

Hi All who are interested.

I've taken it upon myself to work on a small project (with big ideas..!) for work which I think will massively improve productivity. It's also challenging me to learn some new - app developing for Android devices!

I've identified as Ucanaccess as the starter for connecting to the database from the Android device.

I just need a pointer in determining what should be my connection URL (jdbc:ucanaccess://). From what I've read up on, typically you would map the folder ie X:\\ and you're on your way basically.

My Android device is on a local network, my database is on the same network, in a shared folder of a regular desktop PC.

Ideally I'd like to keep password protection on the folder containing the database as it, allowing only users with login credentials on the PC.

If I was to put the database on the Android device for testing purposes of other functions, for example SDCard\\Documents. What would the URL need to be then for Ucanaccess to work?

Assuming that your ultimate goal is to have multiple concurrent users running the Android app and updating a shared database then UCanAccess is not a good fit. See the UCanAccess blog post

Multiuser concurrent write access

for details.
