title: Connect Android Studio to MySQL without JSON
body: <p>I am trying to connect my Android Studio to my local MYSQL Server database using JDBC but I am getting error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone give me a quick sample program using the JDBC?</p>
