HTTP commands in AppGameKit player for Android - NOT working ?
Anyone seen if the AppGameKit Player for Android is to be updated ? As the HTTP commands work fine on the PC but causes the AppGameKit Player to return Error.

Grr...trying to use OpenBrowser()........AGK Player gives Unknown Instruction 981 on my HTC....works fine on the PC.

Anyone have an idea why ?

Did you compile the latest player, or use an old one from the android store?

Yes, you compile it as a part of setting up the android environment. I have the Android Player 1076 version attached here. Just uninstall the android player, and install this one. Make sure you have set the phone to accept program installs from "other sources".

Hmmm... Thank you. I think.

Now the sequence which runs then OpenBrowser() command is triggered without an error (I included a sound to be played whin it does) - but it does not produce any result. No webpage is loaded. Not on the system browser. Not in a window. Yes I have Sync():ed.

My next try...

I then tried to use the following code :
id = CreateHTTPConnection()
result = setHTTPHost(id,"www.digital-skills.co.uk",0)
r$ = SendHTTPRequest (id,"index.html")
Print(r$)
CloseHTTPConnection(id)

The regular outcome is the print out of a HTML source of a webpage, it too works fine on the PC but on the HTC Desire HD it produces no result. Nothing.

Grah!!

All I want to do is to display a webpage, when the user hits a sprite on the screen. And I can't get the webpage to load from the phone. The options are very limited indeed.

Is the solution to make a "proper compiled apk" ? I have not got acquainted with the process of compiling an android app yet.

PleasePleaseHelp!

Can you put "http://www.digital-skills.co.uk/index.html" in a browser on your Android device and have it see the page?

@ Ancient Lady. Absolutely the HTC is a standard Desire HD w/ no tweaks, And using the browser it surfs just as it should.

I just did a very fast test and was able to show the output.

The sample you displayed has a couple of problems.

Either you are doing all of it within the main do loop, with the sync command, which would be overloading things just a bit and not the most efficient.

Or you are not using the print statement within the main do loop and the display disappears the by the second sync() cycle.

Can you show more of the code so that we can see if there is an issue somewhere else that is causing the problem?

I have no difficulty using the HTTP commands on an android device. But I am not using the Player, I am running the apps directly on my device.

Okay I just ran the following on three different Android devices, using broadcast and directly on the devices (a 4.1 and two 3.2, different manufacturers):


It worked just fine on all devices and all run modes.

So, I would have to say that you are probably not doing exactly what you think you are. If you want to share more code, then maybe we can figure out what is and isn't working.
