Hi,
What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to recreate the page as you would see it in a browser? Or are you just trying to get the raw html data for later processing?

I've just tested this locally (not on a device) and it puts the contents into the field - though it doesn't show the formatted html because standard fields don't display a very large subset of html - only stuff relating to text as far as I know.

Code: Select all

   put url( "http://www.google.com") into tdat
   //set the htmltext of field "htfld" to tdat
   put tdat into field "htfld"

This should work on all devices and platforms.

Cheers,
Dave

Buongiorno Lestroso,

according to the Android release notes this:
...
put url( "http://www.google.com") into fld 1
...
SHOULD work, no idea why it doesn't work for you.

@Dave
I think what Lestroso wants to achieve does not matter at all!


Best

Klaus

Silly question, but are you sure you have a field named test? On the same card as the button? (Think i'd confirm the name to make sure)

[Fasasoftware]

thank you klaus...thank you dave,....but the field test it's only an example.....

i don't know why don't work here....do you have another examples to share???


I thank you a lot....

best regards,

lestroso

Hi Lestroso,

if
...
put url("http://www.google.com") into fld 1
...
does not work, then any other example wont help very much!

Hi Lestroso,

Does the example work on your desktop machine? Or is it only on the Android device?

If it's only the device then which version of Android, it the device definitely connected to the internet, is the App blocked from accessing the internet somehow?

The code looks to be correct, and the examples do work (I've tested mine - but not on a device) - so it can only be an external problem or possibly some other part of your code (though if it's the equivalent code to the examples then there is unlikely to be a problem there!)

In what way does it fail for you - is it that the field shows no results (ie remains empty), or that it shows strange data?

At this point in time the more info we have to work with the easier it will be to point you in the correct direction regarding a solution.

I hope that helps,
Dave

Dave, i thank you so much helping me.

ok... i have made an desktop application called I-binaryOptionsPredictor(you can download the demo here:http://www.fasasoftware.com/?page_id=1636 ) ......and i have compiled well ok in Windows and Macintosh Universal.....These apps works fine in these environments......but when i compile for Android with the same code.....the results is that the field that i need that i grab using the....... put url ("http:google.com") into field "prova" (this is only an example....) is empty!!!.....so the command don't works well or i miss something...???

In theory i have to grab with put url command a text from internet and put it into a field....that i will work later....


Do you have any Ideas????

Thank you for your time dedicated to me.....

Have you checked the internet checkbox for android application permissions in the standalone settings?

Dear sturgis.....

i have rechecked all my software in the android's preferences but it's all ok the internet button is ok, i don't know what is the problem....

can you help me please??'? i thank you so much...

Lestroso

As Klaus said,
If this doesn't work...

put url("http://www.google.com") into fld 1

Not sure what to do to help. Can you post your stack? Are you sure the URL you are trying to hit is actually returning something? You might check "the result" after that to see if there is an error..

Code: Select all

get URL("http://your.url.com")
put the result into field 1

Might be some useful info there.

Are you doing this in a simulator? Are you able to access the internet from the simulator?

If you're testing on a device, same question, can it actually hit web pages (even if you're sure, wouldn't hurt to open the devices browser to confirm)

[Fasasoftware]

Dear Sturgis,

yes , i'm working with simulator..but a friend of mine has an android phone and don't work again on his phone...i'll try your code as soon as possible and i will tell you... and i'm sorry but i can't post my stack because i'm selling it again....

Bye,
Lestroso

hi all

I've just spent over an hour trying to get my app's web service working on Android - it was working fine on iOS and mac but not a sqeak on Android. Eventually started googling and came across this thread ... and sturgis's great suggestion to check the permissions checkbox for internet

I was so blind I couldn't see that it was unchecked - I made the change, installed on Android again et voila everything worked!

Thank you sturgis and goodnight

Dave
