The plugin provides a generic interface for using JDBC libraries with a PhoneGap plugin. The interface has a hook to a Java driver which does the actual work. JDBC drivers are available for many databases.
The main documentation and files for the plugin are here: https://github.com/arsmentis/cordova-plugin-jdbc. In this document, we will discuss how to use the plugin from AppStudio.
Begin by making sure the PhoneGap CLI toolchain is installed properly. Documentation for installing it is in the Install Tools section of this page: here.
Next, create a new project in AppStudio. You'll need to do a couple of extra steps:
- Add the hook to configxml: Open configxml in Project Properties. Add the hook declaration just after <platform name="android">
<platform name="android"> <hook type="after_prepare" src="scripts/copyDriver.js" /> ...
