Build 1826 - no iframe, no ajax on cordova 4.1.2 Android

[Leon_B_1]

XDK v1826

Cordova 4.1.2

Android Build

Ajax does't work

iframe does't work

Only on Android (iOS and WP works)

But if I use Cordova 3.5, it works

Tested on Windows 10 Technical Preview  v10041, on March 25

Tried on MAC OSX Yosemite too, same error

Hello,

Are you using Cordova Android Build? Which device are you testing on?

Ajax works just fine on Android with Cordova 4.1.2 using Cordova Android build.

Please make sure under the Project Build Settings you put * in the Domain List to allow your app to access other domains. If that doesn't work try the attached sample Ajax project and let me know if it works for you.

I can confirm the bug,

access = *, and Corova Build (not legacy)

If I just change cordova from 4.1.2 to 3.5, and build, it works

tested on Galaxy Tab 2 with cyanogenmod/lollipop android 5.0.2, and on Moto X 2014 with android 5.0 (unchanged, no root)

the same happens to <iframe>

<iframe> on 4.1.2 does not load src page

but if I change to cordova 3.5, it works

Only on Android (iOS and WP works on 4.1.2)

my ajax:

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "http://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json",
        data: {
            'key': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
            'message': {
                'from_email': 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com',
                'to': [
                    {
                        'email': 'yyyyyyyy@gmail.com',
                        'name': 'RELPREV',
                        'type': 'to'
                    },
                    {
                        'email': 'zzzzzzzzz@gmail.com',
                        'name': 'RELPREV',
                        'type': 'to'
                    }
                ],
                'autotext': 'true',
                'subject': 'RELPREV   ' + window.document.getElementById("q6").value + '   ' + reformatDate(window.document.getElementById("q4").value),
                'html': '' +
                '<B>RELPREV/ASR</B>  ' + window.document.getElementById("q6").value + '   ' + reformatDate(window.document.getElementById("q4").value) +
                '<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>' +
                '<B>LOCAL: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q3").value +
                '<BR><BR><B>DATA: </B>' + reformatDate(window.document.getElementById("q4").value) +
                '<BR><BR><B>HORA: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q5").value +
                '<BR><BR><B>PESSOAL ENVOLVIDO E/OU AERONAVE: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q6").value +
                '<BR><BR><B>SITUAÇÃO: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q7").value +
                '<BR><BR><B>TELEFONE: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q8").value + 
                '<BR><BR><B>EMAIL: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q9").value +
                '<BR><BR><B>RELATOR: </B>' + window.document.getElementById("q10").value + '<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
            }
        }
    });

my iframe:

<iframe id="foo"
        src="http://www.crea-am.org.br/src/site/noticia.php?echoMiolo=1"

        frameborder="0"

        style="overflow: hidden; width: 100%; min-height: 100% ; top: 0px; left: 0px;"
        onload="document.getElementById('loadImg').style.display='none';"
        >
</iframe>

Currently I don't have a device with Android 5.0 to test on. Can you please try the sample app I provided and confirm the issue?

Thanks,

Swati

I confirm this problem with the iframe.

I use intel xdk 1826 and cordova 4.1.2

In the emulate tab and even App preview, the iframe works but after building the app and testing it in my smarphone, the iframe doesn't work.

My smartphone uses the Android version 4.1.1

[sergio_g_]

Even with the new version (1878), the iframe doesn't work. As I said before, it works in the emulate tab and App Preview but not with the finished app. I've got a message like that when the app starts : Application error (internet error....)

[Swati_S_Intel1]

Hello Sergio/Leon,

If ajax is still not working for you please send me your .apk file so we can debug.

Thanks,

Swati

[Leon_B_1]

the problem is back in part

now we have no iframe, neither with cordova 3.5, nor 4.1.2

neither in app preview, nor on builded app .apk

ajax is working in 3.5 (I didn't tested on 4.1.2)

tested on XDK 1995, Elementary OS (ubuntu 14.04 x64), kernel 4.0

[Swati_S_Intel1]

Please read this article on how to use the build settings with Cordova CLI 4.1.2 in order for an app to allow access to other domains and launch external applications. 

[Leon_B_1]

Already did it Not working too For me, ajax is fine, iframe is dead

[John_H_Intel2]

Instead of iframe, have you tried using the InAppBrowser plugin to display the remote content?

[Chris_P_Intel]

Isn't this just the domain whitelisting problem?  https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cordova-cli-412-domain-whitelisting-with-intel-xdk-for-ajax-and-launching-external-apps

My apologies if this has been suggested already.

[Swati_S_Intel1]

@Leon, what URL are you trying to access in an iframe? There are certain sites that do not allow access through iframes (for example, google.com). The best way to access those URLs is to use inAppBrowser plugin. You can use : 

window.open('http://YourURL', '_blank', '');

Let us know if that doesn't work.

[Leon_B_1]

OK tested

It really was the site's fault, not xdk

I've tried another site, and worked, BUT ONLY ON Cordova 3.5

Cordova 4.1.2 opens NO SITE on iframe

this link below works on 3.5, but not on 4.1.2

src="http://www.crea-am.org.br/src/site/noticia.php?echoMiolo=1"

[Swati_S_Intel1]

Hi Leon,

This link you mentioned works fine with CLI 4.1.2. Did you put * in the Domain list? Which device are you testing on?

[Yuriy_T_]

Hi, all!

I'm trying to resolve same trouble on my android 4.1.1 version smartphone by article "Cordova CLI 4.1.2 Domain Whitelisting with Intel XDK for AJAX and Launching External Apps", but nothing works!!!

No ajax and no iframe to external domains when tested build, but works fine in App Preview and Emulate...

XDK ver 2248.

Any new ideas?

[Swati_S_Intel1]

@Yuriy T., which domain(s) are you trying to access via ajax and iframe? Can you send the snippet of your code? Are you using Android Cordova build? Also if possible send a screenshot of your Project>Build Settings page.
