Per prima cosa si deve configurare il lato server installando Apache,Php e le sue estensioni (in particolare php5-json) e mysql
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install php5-json
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
sudo apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin
A questo punto si crea la base dati. Nell'esempio e' stato creato un database "test" con una sola tabella "test" con una struttura di questo tipo
----------------------------------------------------
-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 3.4.10.1deb1
-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
--
-- Host: localhost
-- Generation Time: Apr 23, 2014 at 04:15 PM
-- Server version: 5.5.35
-- PHP Version: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11
SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
SET time_zone = "+00:00";
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
--
-- Database: `test`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `test`
--
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`nome` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`cognome` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;
--
-- Dumping data for table `test`
--
INSERT INTO `test` (`id`, `nome`, `cognome`) VALUES
(1, 'Luca', 'Innocenti'),
(2, 'Alessio', 'Parauda');
/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET COLLATION_CONNECTION=@OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
----------------------------------------------------
per interrogare il db sul lato server e' stato inserito il seguente semplice script Python che effettua una query e crea un oggetto JSon con i dati risultanti dalla query
----------------------------------------------------
<?php
$mysql_db_hostname = "localhost";
$mysql_db_user = "xxxxx";
$mysql_db_password = "xxxxxx";
$mysql_db_database = "test";
$con = @mysqli_connect($mysql_db_hostname, $mysql_db_user, $mysql_db_password,$mysql_db_database);
if (!$con) {
echo('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$var = array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM test";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
while($obj = mysqli_fetch_object($result)) {
$var[] = $obj;
}
echo json_encode($var);
?>
----------------------------------------------------
si puo' testare l'output chiamando la pagina da browser
L'applicazione Android di seguito riportata apre una connessione Http verso la pagina php precedentemente predisposta ed effettua il parsing dell'oggetto JSon
Ovviamente deve essere impostato nel file Manifest il permesso per l'uso di Internet
