ajax calls

[Shawn_A_]

I have an ajax call in my app that works fine in the emulator and on the emulator app, but when I make an APK file, it hangs.

The app collects the user's user id and password, and passes it to the web server.

The web server returns a token and some other user-specific data.

I know the request is hitting the server. The problem seems to lie in parsing the returning json? 

I also know the json is good. How do even begin troubleshooting this?

$("#spinner").show();

                 var uID=$("#userID").val();
                 var uPW=$("#userPW").val();
                 var dataString="userID="+uID+"&userPW="+uPW;
            
            $.getJSON("http://mydomain.com/cgi/mlogin.exe?"+dataString, function(json){

                     if(json.error!=="0"){
                        $("#loginResult").html(json.error);
                         $("#spinner").hide();
                        return;    
                     }

                     $("#loginResult").html("logged in");
                     $("#loginResult").css("color","#ffff00");
                     $("#loginResult").css("background","#000");

                     $("#spinner").hide();
                     $("#loginButton").html("log off");
                     
                     $("#ticketData").html("tickets and stuff");
                     
                     intel.xdk.cache.setCookie("token",json.token,7);             
                     
                     var t="";
                     for(var i=0;i<=json.tickets.length-1;i++){
                        t+="<div class='tRow'>"; 
                            t+="<div class='tNumber'>";
                            t+=json.tickets.ticket;
                            t+="</div>";
                            t+="<div class='tProblem'>";
                            t+=json.tickets.problem;
                            t+="</div>";     
                            t+="<div class='tCustID'>";
                            t+=json.tickets.custID;
                            t+="</div>";      
                            t+="<div class='clr'></div>";
                        t+="</div>";
                     }

                     $("#ticketData").html(t);

                 });

I am not expert but i think don't use  intel.xdk.cache.setCookie or any intel.xdk function.

[Hamilton_Tenório_da_]

Try to show the result using JSON.stringfy(). Maybe you can see something wrong.

Use the Debug tab, not the Emulate tab to debug this issue. If that does not work, then try using remote CDT with a built app. See this page for lots of debug options: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-debug-and-test-overview

Yes it seems the issue was with intel.xdk.cache.setCookie 

What is the better way to set/retrieve a cookie? 

I'm going to try using just plain javaScript.

Use Crosswalk on Android to insure that "just plain JavaScript" works. :) You'll get your best results that way. The Debug tab uses Crosswalk.

This is how I ended up making it work.

I set a variable to a windows object instead of a cookie

in my login function

setToken(json.token);

then when I need it I just use

var tkn=getToken();

and the functions look like this:

// set token
function setToken(v){
    window.token = v;
    return;
}

// retrieve token
function getToken(){
    return window.token;
}

I'm getting my "testing" phone set up to use the DEBUG tab. 

That's way better than email apk builds to myself.

thanks
