SMD_3D:
Can't you use GetRawJoystickExists( index ) ?

Quote: "Returns 1 if a joystick exists at the given index. Physical joysticks are detected at startup and placed in IDs 1-4 incrementally. You should call CompleteRawJoystickDetection at some point before this command to make sure that all present joysticks have been discovered. After the initial detection process plugging in additional joysticks will not be detected. Unplugging a joystick will not delete its index and this command will still return 1, but all the joystick's values will return 0. If a disconnected joystick is reattached the AppGameKit will attempt to reconnect to it, but this cannot be guaranteed.

An alternative version of this command exists GetJoystickExists, in which case it will return 1 if there are any raw joysticks attached. "

i not trust this measurement.
in this order its different.
but maybe the compiler is smart do replace the <>"".
normal need a string compare longer then value compare.

Markus, why your code does assignment c=n 100 times for each cycle of outer for-next? instead you can sleep for a some constant value (about 1850 ms for ac=100000 on my PC for example). it is just waste of time and that misrepresents results. and so as you reduced ac in 10 times so you don't feel the different now.

try again my new and improved:

Digital Awakening, I think it is bug. big bug. especially when it compiles your if ( s$ = "some") not ( s$ = "" ). is it unary operator or what? crazy, man, crazy!

NOT in the case of AppGameKit is probably only meant to be used where AND, OR and XOR would otherwise be used, between 2 statements.

Digital Awakening in this case they forgot to fix the manual:

i had also got some status codes from agk player
but don't know what the numbers means.
for me it was the firewall options or iis server config.

Markus, i think is a bug, because in the older version it was working well.
Of course HTTP is on port 80, so is not the firewall.

Paul please can you look at this?

Error code 28 is coming from the HTTP library and means the operation timed out, possibly because the host was unreachable or the device didn't allow the app to communicate over the network. Does the app have the android.permission.INTERNET permission in the AndroidManifest.xml?

If you get other error codes you can look them up here

It seems a sort of timeout too low, as my server receive it but the AppGameKit don't wait the response.

Yes i saw it, but i'm using an IP to connect to my server.

If i add http:// it don't work and i don't know what to do.
1/100 work cause the server response arrive in 1 sec but sometimes when the server need time to response it go error 28.

I think AppGameKit HTTP has a too low time out on the SYNC request.

I will try with the Async too.

@PAUL

Paul i think is a TIMEOUT problem.



I added a while(response == "") to wait the server, and after 20/30 tries it worked.
Also when the code try to call it later it worked after 20/30 error 28.

Can you give a look to it?
I think if you repair this bug on HTTP the AppGameKit could work on Android for me too.

Why don't add a timeout value to the function?

EDIT :
This is the image of the LogCat



As you can see after some tries, it get the ris: .....

Ok i confirm the AppGameKit HTTP has some bugs.
Sometimes crash directly.

Please Paul fix it or i can't use AppGameKit on Android.

did u use a hosted or local server?

I just tested SendHTTPRequest on Android and it returned a result on the first attempt. The default timeout is 6 seconds, so to get 20 failures due to time would take about 2 minutes, it sounds more likely that the connection is being blocked or refused and therefore "timing out".

There is a message part way through your screenshot about turning airplane mode on, which would block outgoing connections, or perhaps the device is using some form of power saving by turning off the wireless device when not in use and it is taking some time to power back on.

@Markus : Yes i have an online dedicated server, with about 120000 players each day and an average of 1000 always online. So my timeout is variable from 0.5 to 25 sec.

@Paul
I need more than 6 seconds of time out, i need 30 sec.
And i need it on the Sync type request.

Why you simply leave the choice to the coder of timeout ???

Add a variable to the function and all we will be happy.

Ok after another day of test, i can say again AppGameKit Tier 2 is full of bugs on Android.

- Disconnections
- HTTP Request doesn't work (On ios it takes 1sec to get response with my OBJ C code)
- Sometimes the graphic flicker
- Sometimes the screen go up and down regularly
- Random crashes and never on the same line of code

I don't know how the other users work, but for me this isn't the way. Absolutely!

Hi Zoq, yes is your template.
That work pretty well.
I found HTTP is bugged on AppGameKit (108.19 to 108.21 the ones i tested) but i remember in the past it worked on my Nexus 5.
Now i know there's no error in my code, as when the HTTP worked, my game worked as on iOS.

Quote: "Add a variable to the function and all we will be happy."


I'll consider it for a future update, but having a request take 6 seconds in the Sync version will stall the app and make Android think it is not responding anyway. A better course of action would be to find out why it is failing, for example does it happen with other servers or other devices, or does the above fix solve the problem.

Quote: "hi Paul. how about my questions?"

I don't know why it wouldn't compile, part of the reason I put rewriting the compiler high on my list.

Ok Paul i go to test immediately!!!
Thx for the TIMEOUT value in future!!!

Not all apps need the Async, some need Sync too. So the value in the function contruct is a good solution.

Edit : Same as before, it go in timeout while waiting the server response.

Edit2 : Worst than before, now the while give me 1/150 tries.
I think this must be updated soon. Maybe nobody use the HTTP function or maybe it works well only on Tier 1.

Anyway now with your fix on the host address, it need more time to connect and get the SIGSEGV signal on NULL received and crash.

Edit 3 : With OBJ C it take 0.35sec to connect to my server and get the response.

This is the error that happen sometimes

If it fails, why not make a loop that try again, and again, until you get a response? Then timeout if it fails like 50 times ?

Does this happen when you try to contact other servers, or just yours? Does this happen with multiple Android devices or just one?

I have tested the Android HTTP commands with a TGC server and everything works normally here, can you create a small example that replicates the problem?
