Connection to Oracle Database

**Tiny Oracle** · 09-12-2012, 08:43 AM

Dears,

We are developing an Android application will connect to Oracle DB.
I have problem with JDBC library dependencies.

I always get (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver) error, this happened when the Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver") didn't find the JDBC library.
At my case I double checked that my ojdbc6.jar library is existed correctly at build path.

Is there any farther configuration I've missed ?
Regarding libraries dependencies, is there any difference at development between J2SE and Android application ?

IDE: Eclipse SDK 4.2 with Android
Android target platform: 2.3.3

Thanks and best regards,
Tiny

do you have the jar file under the "lib" directory of your eclipse android project?

There's no "lib" folder at eclipse Android project.
Instead there's "libs" folder, I added the JDBC library inside this folder.
At other hand there's another library at "libs" folder, it's "android-support-v4.jar", thus I suppose that's "libs" is the correct place to add my libraries in.
Should I create "lib" folder manually ?

Forgive me for my typo. Yes, it is "libs". So it doesn't work there? Because I have used libraries like this. Sometimes cleaning the project and all its dependency projects helps. But I'm sure you already did that.
