ok

I would try giving this video a watch and see if it'll help. Unfortunatly, I don't know too much about sql database or android studio but using a youtube tutorial is not a bad place to start

[Noleen#7811 3]

he does same as all other i watched

and i get same error in fresh project so firetruck me

[ElectriCole 5]

hmmm, I wish I could help but I just don't know enough to be able to dive in myself and troubleshoot. I'm sorry man

[Noleen#7811 3]

it's ok just a personal project

[ElectriCole 5]

What are you using it for, if I might ask?

[Noleen#7811 3]

school lockers management

[ElectriCole 5]

Oh, interesting, wasn't expecting that.

[Noleen#7811 3]

to replace a paper file

[ElectriCole 5]

That's pretty smart now that I'm thinking about it

[Noleen#7811 3]

i need an online database so everyone on the team can access it not just one person

cause the problem with the paper file is exactly that only one person can access it at a time

[ElectriCole 5]

I gotcha

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Your URL is probably wrong

Normally it wouldn't be a driver issue

[HuntSD#7607 14]

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

But mysql can be weird sometimes with JDBC so I'd just verify you got the right URLs and dependencies installed

Unfortunately I can't help much more than that because it's been years since I used Java and a database in one project lol

[Noleen#7811 3]

thanks, i'm just not sure how to check the url, will look into it later

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Usually if you have to make a request to it, most api's or dbs will have something that returns a status code which can tell you what might be going wrong

Tho this is a database that you're gonna host as a personal project right? Probably best to just look over the docs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Noleen#7811 3]

i've never worked with anything connected so i'm learning as i go

maybe i should look for a database that is not in mysql

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Java works best with Oracle but you don't wanna pay for that lol

Mysql or SQLite are good options for what you're going for

It is pretty tricky to set up I agree
Which is why most just go for a cloud approach and Rest APIs

[Noleen#7811 3]

i wanted to avoid php cause i don't understand it well but yeah maybe

watched a tutorial but was too complicated so decided to keep looking into my problem first

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Yeahh avoid Php

[Noleen#7811 3]

only language i know is C# so java is easy, the rest gets a bit overwhelming

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

The joys of a personal project haha

[Noleen#7811 3]

you know when you change nothing at all and it works all of a sudden for no reason, just happened

[ElectriCole 5]

Yeah that happens

[Noleen#7811 3]

i'm relieved but now i really wonder what was wrong before
