Hi i am trying to connect JDBC data base using Android i have tried all the ways but i am getting error "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" in eclipse. I have added jar file also.Getting same exception. Will android does not support JDBC connection directly is my question.

private static final String url = "jdbc:mysql://<server>:<port>/<database>";
private static final String user = "<username>";
private static final String pass = "<password>";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    testDB();
}
public void testDB() {
    TextView tv = (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.text_view);
    try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user,pass);
        String result = "Database connection successn";
        }
        tv.setText(result);
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        tv.setText(e.toString());
    }

}
