answer url does not work in Android liveCode
What can I do?

[FourthWorld]

What does "answer url" do on other platforms?

[Klaus]

Did you check "Internet" in the "Standalone Application Settings" for Android?

And since the automatism "Search for required inclusions when saving the standalone application"
does not work reliably, maybe you need to include the "Internet" library manually?

[jacque]

"answer url" doesn't make sense, what are you trying to do?

[Klaus]

Maybe he just forgot to add the actual url?

[liveCode]

This is the code I put:

Code: Select all

    answer url "https://tcrvo.ml/verisin.txt"

And this is the settings of Android in liveCode
And it still does not work

Note: If I run the command in liveCode it works but if I run the app and run on my phone it does not work

[SparkOut]

Can you show the "inclusions" tab of the standalone settings as well please?

[liveCode]

To shoot more?

[liveCode]

Is there anything I did not mark?

[AndyP]

You probably need to include the HTTP Library as well

[liveCode]

Thanks,
I will update you on Sunday whether it worked or not

[FourthWorld]

HTTP is handled in the Internet library, which is checked. The httpd library is for running a localhost server for mobile testing.

I think what's missing us the SSL library, needed for HTTPS.

[liveCode]

I added the SSL directory and it still does not work

Standard inclusions aren't the issue i don't think.
I created a standalone for desktop with a single button:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
    answer url "https://tcrvo.ml/verisin.txt"
end mouseUp

The only inclusions i ticked were 'Internet', in addition to the already ticked 'ask' and 'answer'.
This worked just fine - click the button launches a dialog with the text 1.0.0.

If this isn't working on mobile, it seems likely to be a mobile specific issue (i'm afraid i can't really help there though) - i'm guessing internet access has be allowed or some such, but i can see in your first screenshot that you've already ticked the 'Internet' tickbox. Not sure if anything else needs to be done...

Maybe someone else can try compiling for Android and see if its a general issue?
Hopefully some experienced Android dev can advise...

Hi livecode,

lets try to narrow the problem, do this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
    put url("https://tcrvo.ml/verisin.txt") into tVar
    if the result <> EMPTY then
       answer "Problem:" & CR & the result
    else
       answer tVar
   end if
end mouseUp

Then tell us what the dialog shows you.


Best

Klaus
