    <p>I want to get CouchDB running as the backend for my mobile app, replacing SQlite.</p> <p>I have been incredibly confused as a newcomer to this technology because, in addition to all of similar sounding products released by Couchbase last year(Couchbase, Couchbase Single Server, Membase, Couchbase Mobile), they now seem to be dropping/combining all of them into a single project, Couchbase Server. But, that is actually Membase, not CouchDB. To top that off, the creator of CouchDB is no longer going to be working on CouchDB. Yet, there seems to be a very active community around CouchDB. Here is what I know:</p> <ol> <li><p>I understand that Couchbase, the company, no longer provides a distribution of CouchDB.</p></li> <li><p>I understand that Couchbase Server, the new focus of the Couchbase company, is really not CouchDB at all and it is not compatible with CouchDB. It does not implement the HTTP api that CouchDB uses, it's using a binary protocol that evolved from Membase.</p></li> <li><p>All of the recent information on CouchDB Mobile seems to point to Couchbase Mobile.</p></li> </ol> <p>My questions boil down to:</p> <p>Is it still possible to use CouchDB on an Android device? Specifically CouchDB, not Couchbase Server, because the APIs are not compatible</p> <p>If it is still possible, how do I do it? Where is the source code? Any sample apps?</p> <p>Sorry if my question gets confusing. To be honest, I am having a hard time wading through the vast collection of seemingly contradictory posts online. I just want to run CouchDB on Android! :)</p>

    1. COSomething offtopic, but why do you want to use the CouchDB instead of SQLite?

    2. CO@slukian I want to take advantage of CouchDB's replication feature. The server app that coincides with the mobile app uses CouchDB.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
