Http POST request not working on mobile

Guilsys · March 1, 2015, 9:55pm

Hello everyone.

I’m trying to send a variable from my Android to a php page using the Asynchronous HTTP sevice but I have no result. The application does very well in the simulator, but fails on the device. I have internet service enabled or so it seems, also comes by default when you create a new application in Corona. Any help is very welcome. It is assumed that should be something easy. Maybe I’m missing some detail.

Thanks.

How you do the http request ? I was using this code without any problem:

Request:

local sendInfo = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["var1"] = urlEncode(valueForVar1),&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["var2"] = urlEncode(valueForVar2) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local params = {} &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; params.body = json.encode( sendInfo ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local headers = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["Content-Type"] = "application/json", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["Accept-Language"] = "en-US", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["Content-Length"] = #params.body &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; params.headers = headers &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; network.request( "http://www.yourserver.com/yourphppage.php", "POST", networkRequestListener, params)

Response listener:

function networkRequestListener( event ) &nbsp; &nbsp; if ( event.isError ) then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; native.setActivityIndicator(false) &nbsp; &nbsp;else &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; native.setActivityIndicator(false) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; print\_r(event.response) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local decodedResponse = json.decode(event.response) &nbsp; &nbsp;end end

Hope this can help you…

Thanks for the reply. I found that the problem lies elsewhere in the system. Im trying to acces localhost. I have to go to back to see what happens. Thanks for you interest anyway.
