intel.xdk.device.getRemoteData do not fire on tablet

[Hamilton_Tenório_da_]

I don´t know if it is only in tablet Android, but the command intel.xdk.device.getRemoteData do not fire the script on server.

My APP runs OK on emutator (XDK) and in my phone Samsung S4 android 4.4.2, but do not run on AppPreview or installed (APK) on tablet Samsung Tab 10.1 I android 4.0.4 or Motorola Xoom android 4.1.2.

I did a debug process on tablet (Xoom) and the script runs OK until the command intl.xdk.device.getRemoteData, but looking on server, the URL called is not fired. If it is not fired, no return occurs and the APP stops.

Is there any information or action to do for this situation?

Thanks.

I have a few questions:

1. Which build target (Cordova 3.x Crosswalk for Android, Android, or Legacy Android ) are you using?
2. Are you able to get a response using the Get reponse from your sever?
3. Did you include the "xhr.js" file

In the HEAD element, include the following files

    <!-- phantom library, needed for XDK "legacy" container api calls -->
    <script src="intelxdk.js"></script>
    <!-- phantom library, needed for Cordova api calls -->
    <script src="cordova.js"></script>
    <!-- phantom library, needed for XDK "legacy" container CORS -->
    <script src="xhr.js"></script>
    

Example (GET Request) 

//GET method example
intel.xdk.device.getRemoteData("https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=500", "GET","","success_handler","error_handler");


//Example Event Handlers
function success_handler (data) {  alert("success: " + data); }
function error_handler(data) {  alert("error: " + data); }

Example (POST Request)

//POST method example
intel.xdk.device.getRemoteData("<server_URL>","POST","E-MAIL=html5tools@intel.com&TEST=1&MAX=0","success_handler","error_handler");

//Example Event Handlers
function success_handler (data) {  alert("success: " + data); }
function error_handler(data) {  alert("error: " + data); }

Hi Elroy,

Follow answers:

1. Which build target (Cordova 3.x Crosswalk for Android, Android, or Legacy Android ) are you using?
   Android
    
2. Are you able to get a response using the Get reponse from your sever?
   Not using these tablets. No request is received on server.
   Normal response from smartphone (Samsung S4)
    
3. Did you include the "xhr.js" file
   Yes

In the past, usign the old building, in all devices everithing was OK. But Google is showing the problem about Cordova 3.3. Then, I need to build again using Android option (it is better because the stuff is always present in XDK).

Using debug, no error is showed when this command is passed. But no action is fired after that (success or error).

I do not mark any cordova option in the building. Only Intel.XDK options are selected. 

Thank you.

Try using the Crosswalk for Android build option.

I did this test: build using Crosswalk option.

The size of APK jumped from 3.5 Mb to 19.3 Mb!

The performance on tablet is terrible, very very very slow.

And no fix the problem: the getRemoteData is still not working.
