network.request works in simulator, DOES NOT fire in APK creation on android

Hi,

I am struggling to understand why my network.request works fine in simulator, but once I package APK file and install it doesnt work.

I cut down the code to show demo, and it does not work on my samsung galaxy s

display.newText(“first line of code”, 0, 50, native.systemFontBold, 15)

local function networkListener( event )
display.newText(“network listener fired”, 0, 100, native.systemFontBold, 15)
if ( event.isError ) then
print( “Network error!”)
display.newText( “network error”, 2, 125, native.systemFont,25 )
else

display.newText(“worked”, 2, 125, native.systemFont,25 )

end
end

network.request( “http://x.x.x.x/location.aspx”, “GET”, networkListener )

My build.settings allows android.permission.INTERNET, it will show the first line of text “first line of code” but nothing else.

Please can anyone help me? [import]uid: 22405 topic_id: 5786 reply_id: 305786[/import]

I’m running into a similar problem when I attempt to pass parameters in a network request:

  
 local params = {}  
 params["name"] = reader\_SID  
 params["domain"] = ".google.com"  
 params["path"] = "/"  
 params["expires"] = "1600000000"  
  
 network.request( "http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/subscription/list", "GET", readerShowFeeds, params)

Works perfect in the Corona Simulator, throws a 401 error in the iOS Simulator.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

EDIT: @joshuaand Also, have you tried testing it in the iOS Simulator at all? Just wondering if your issue is Android specific… [import]uid: 27896 topic_id: 5786 reply_id: 20020[/import]

For what it is worth, network.request is not working for me either.

I have build 2011.288 (Jan 28 2011) for Windows and I get nothing out of network.request even in the simulator. I have Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP3.

I do have the correct build.settings file per specification at http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/network

I tried joshuaand’s code with a valid url and all I see is “first line of code” when I run it in the simulator.

Even the supposedly “working” example code at documented at http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/asynchronous-http does nothing for me.
