Javafxports and SQLite -> open failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)

Question

i m trying to code a simple sqlite code with javafxports.

build.gradle:

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.0.6'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'org.javafxports.jfxmobile'

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
    maven {
        url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases"
    }

}

ext.CHARM_DOWN_VERSION = "1.0.0"

dependencies{
    compile 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.8.11'

    compile "com.gluonhq:charm-down-common:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    desktopRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-desktop:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    androidRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-android:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    iosRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-ios:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
}
mainClassName = 'com.gluonapplication.version16'

jfxmobile {
    android {
        manifest = 'src/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
    }
    ios {
        infoPList = file('src/ios/Default-Info.plist')
        forceLinkClasses= ['com.gluonhq.**.*', 'org.sqlite.**.*']
    }
}

my JavaCode:

public static Label msg = new Label();

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
    StackPane root = new StackPane();

    root.getChildren().add(msg);
    Rectangle2D visualBounds = Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds();
    Scene scene = new Scene(root, visualBounds.getWidth(), visualBounds.getHeight());

    stage.getIcons().add(new Image(version16.class.getResourceAsStream("/icon.png")));
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();

    try {
        testSqli();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
public static void testSqli() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
    String driver = "org.sqlite.JDBC";
    //Class.forName("SQLite.JDBCDriver");
    Class.forName(driver);
    String dbName = "mtt8.db";
    String dbUrl = "jdbc:sqlite:" + dbName;

    //create table
    Statement st = null;
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);
    st = conn.createStatement();
    st.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS village;");
    st.executeUpdate("CREATE table village (id int, name varchar(20))");
    //insert row?
    st.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO village VALUES (111, 'Concretepage')");

    //select?
    String query = "SELECT id, name from village";
    ResultSet rs = null;
    rs = st.executeQuery(query);

    while (rs.next()) {
        int id = 0;
        id = rs.getInt(1);
        String name = null;
        name = rs.getString(2);
        msg.setText("id:" + id + ", name: " + name);
        System.out.println("id:" + id + ", name: " + name);
        st.executeUpdate("DELETE from village");
        rs.close();
    }
}

and i send it with ./gradlew launchIOSDevice and get following error:

can anybody help me please, how can i give an acces in my code so that i can create a sqlite DB ?

thanks erkan kaplan

Answer 1

As @ItachiUchiha points out, your issue is related to the place where you are trying to create the database:

String dbUrl = "jdbc:sqlite:" + dbName;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);

The URL you are providing may work on your desktop, but not on a mobile device, where the app has a very restricted access to the storage, and it has granted access only to a private local storage.

Using the Gluon's open source library Charm-Down, it's very easy to get the path of that local storage, regardless the platform the app is running on.

First, add these dependencies to your build.gradle script:

ext.CHARM_DOWN_VERSION = "1.0.0"
dependencies {
    compile "com.gluonhq:charm-down-common:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    desktopRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-desktop:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    androidRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-android:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    iosRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-ios:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
}

And now, on your code, the URL should be:

try {
    File dir = PlatformFactory.getPlatform().getPrivateStorage();
    File db = new File (dir, dbName);
    String dbUrl = "jdbc:sqlite:" + db.getAbsolutePath();
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);
    ...
} catch (Exception e) { }

A BIG THANKS TO JOSE,

here is my build.gradle , so i can connect to mysql-server on my Lan and results save as sqlite.db on Ipad-Devices;

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }
    }
    dependencies { classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.0.6' }
}

apply plugin: 'org.javafxports.jfxmobile'


repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases' }
}

ext.CHARM_DOWN_VERSION = "1.0.0"

dependencies {
    compile 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:3.1.12'
    compile 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.9.0-SNAPSHOT'

    compile "com.gluonhq:charm-down-common:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    desktopRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-desktop:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    androidRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-android:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
    iosRuntime "com.gluonhq:charm-down-ios:$CHARM_DOWN_VERSION"
}




mainClassName = 'com.mtt8.version15'

jfxmobile {
    android {
        manifest = 'src/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
        packagingOptions {
            exclude 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST'
        }
    }

    ios {
        infoPList = file('src/ios/Default-Info.plist')
        forceLinkClasses = ['com.mtt8.**.*', 'com.mysql.**.*', 'SQLite.**.*', 'com.gluonhq.**.*']
    }

}

and sqlite.java

import com.gluonhq.charm.down.common.PlatformFactory;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

        String dbName = "mtt8.db";
        File dir = null;
        try {

        }

        File db = new File (dir, dbName);
        String dbUrl = "jdbc:sqlite:" + db.getAbsolutePath();




        Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);

        //create table
        Statement st=null;

            st = conn.createStatement();

            //insert row

        String query = "SELECT id, name from village";
        ResultSet rs = null;

                rs = st.executeQuery(query);

                while(rs.next()) {

                    id = rs.getInt(1);

                    String name = null;

                        name = rs.getString(2);

                    System.out.println("id:"+ id+ ", name: "+ name);
                st.executeUpdate("DELETE from village");
                rs.close();

        }

    }
