Android using Stored Procedure – MS SQL Server
Android Listview can be used to display information to the user in different formats. You can customize Android Listview according to your needs depending upon your application usage. Lately I was also puzzled on using Stored procedure made in MS SQL Server database in Android application. I have already shown how to use MS SQL Server data to use in Android Application in my previous posts. If you have not seen my previous post please visit it once, as it contains the jar library information which you will have to add to make this application work.
Below is the code of the application which uses Stored procedure made in MS SQL Server to fetch the Listview data.
SQL Script :
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[countries](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CountryName] nvarchar NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
insert into countries values ('India')
insert into countries values ('Spain')
insert into countries values ('New Zealand')
insert into countries values ('Italy')
insert into countries values ('Istanbul')
insert into countries values ('USA')
insert into countries values ('Australia')
insert into countries values ('Brazil')
create procedure viewAllCountries
as
(
select * from countries
)
exec viewAllCountries
create procedure viewCountry
@id nvarchar(50)
as
(
select * from countries where Id=@id
)
exec viewCountry '1'
Create a new Android application project in Eclipse or Android studio (I’m using Eclipse, Android studio can also be used ). Create a new xml layout file with name
countries.xml
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://site name.com"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#c0392b"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="10" >
EditText
android:id="@+id/edtid"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="ENTER ID HERE"
android:padding="2dp"

android:textSize="19sp" />
TextView

android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="15sp" />

android:id="@+id/lstcountry"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"

LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_weight="1"

android:layout_width="0dp"

How to execute stored procedure from Android :
You have to create a PreparedStatement variable and assign the stored procedure name to this variable and later execute this preparedstatement using the ResultSet. If resultset returns a non-empty value, use your logic to make up your application.
PreparedStatement statement = connect.prepareStatement(“EXEC viewAllCountries”);
final ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
}
Create a new class file in your project with name LoadCountries.java and edit it as following :
LoadCountries.java
