Firebird Embedded on Android

Recommended Posts

I need to use my Firebird 5.0 database on Android 11 with ARM64-v8a in Embedded mode. I use Delphi 12.2 Android x64 build target and FireMonkey with FireDAC components TFDConnection and TFDPhysFBDriverLink. I think I should probably use 'Android Embedded' ver. 5.0.2 AAR package from Firebird Download web page. I deploy my FDB database into .\assets\internal path in Delphi but I'm not quite shure what files from AAR package I should use for deployment. Probably some files from AAR package in directories \jni\arm64-v8a and \assets\firebird. Another important question is on what 'Remote Paths' I should deploy them in Delphi. Could anybody having positive experience in using Firebird Embedded on Android help with some advices?

I could not use Firedac to achieve this (as you try changing TFDPhysFBDriverLink)  , but by using IBDac or ZEOSDBO then I reached my goal was : use my android machine as a client to server Firebird.

But deploying Firebird  x64 on Android  is tricky

https://sourceforge.net/p/zeoslib/wiki/How to use Firebird 4.0 with Zeos on Android/

ARM version seems to be easier, but compatible Delphi x64 ??? 

 

Note : I don't check really the server embedded function, only connection to a server 

 

@Dmitry Arefiev should Firedac  be possible one day ?
